It wasn’t heading for the pillar the whole time. It only hit the pillar because it lost power and lost control.


It looks to me that way but I may be mistaken. One thing I know, the inertia of that massive ship will keep it going to the direction it was heading to unless a really strong force would move it another way. I do not think the wind was not that strong on that night to veer the ship suddenly to the pillar if that is what happened. Besides, the rudder will still work if the ship is moving forward, so a full loss of control only happens when they are adrift. A good investigation will hopefully find the truth.

I'm no stranger to boats. But I've never seen one like this. It's obviously a special-purpose boat....the purpose for this rig is alien to me.

In one video I saw, it appeared that the ship went black just before it struck the bridge... maybe it lost power? Also, maybe it's just my old eyes, but it appeared to me that there was no way that ship would clear the bridge anyway, because of the ship's height.


I was watching the security video published last night. The ship did lost light and smoke for about a second just before it hit the bridge.
But was heading for the pillar the whole time, maybe a full 10 minutes before impact, and was moving very fast for such a small navigation space at night.
That bridge and pillars should be clearly marked on their navigation tools and the area would be time to carefully pilot. If my bells are correct, it was intentional.

Your post reminded me of the TV series "Seventh Heaven" some years back, which I liked very much.
It was a family good moral show, something akin to the "Little house on the Prairie".

A photography friend of mine made these for me since I'm not much with a computer except editing.

Which do you like?


Just an idea ha ha
A quick sketch and needs some cleanup.

I'm still practicing and experimenting with different brushes and ways to apply digital paint.

In years past, I would pass time by Tole Painting on mailboxes, saws and saw blades, barn wood, etc. This is my attempt at that style using a digital paint program and a digital display tablet and stylus.

I've attached a few images of this scene as it progressed to show how it flowed from start to finish.

The thing about the Epson V600 is that it has an effective optical resolution somewhere around 1800 dpi (yes, scanner resolution is measured in physical dots, which you can think of as samples per linear inch in both directions up and down or across the scanner bed).

You can scan at higher resolutions, but they will not add detail to the scan, just file size in extra pixels used to describe the dots.

Scanning PRINTS at 300dpi AT REPRODUCTION SIZE, NOT ORIGINAL SIZE, yields good results. Scan at 600 dpi if you want to double the reproduction size by reducing resolution to 300 PPI in post (without resampling).

Scanning 35mm film at 2400 dpi is necessary if you intend to make reasonably large prints (8x10 or 11x14 or so).

Another issue with the scanner is the focus. Scanners are set to focus on paper that is pressed tightly against the glass. They rarely focus properly on film, especially film in slide mounts. Slide mount thickness drastically affects the focus. There are some aftermarket film holders with height adjustments on them so you can control focus a little better, but they're only marginally better than the Epson film holders.

The key to handling silk papers is to macro photograph them with very large light sources that wrap around all the little bumps. I used 24x32" soft boxes on either side of my copy stand for a while. I never had a problem with surface texture.

Copying media to raw files and doing post production in Lightroom Classic makes it easy to get what you want, but it does take time.

I've never been to a cruise and my understanding is that you won't be walking very far. If that is the case, why not also bring the longest, sharpest glass/body setup you own?

Always start with the best picture is a good mantra.

That aside, your images are very good for the posted size. If your not going to make a bigger print, I'd say it's more that good enough.

Thirty four years ago on this date, I some big bad cancer removed. As Minnie Pearl would say, "I'm just s' glad t' be here!"
I've had soooo many speed bumps, hills and mountains to spring up in front of me, but it seems like God always shouted "That's no hill for a stepper" so I'm still here for now.
