Hi,

Hope this is of interest to some. It was her last visit. Shot of her sailing down the Firth of Forth. Late on Tuesday.

ISO 6400 F2.8

Regards,

Ian

Ian,

A really beautiful atmospheric image, I particularly like the break in the clouds and the flotilla of tugs all in a row like ducks!

I was fortunate enough to have sailed on this ship once as a boy in the 1970s, I'll be sad to see her go.

Hi Scotian

How noisy is the original image at that ISO and what camera/lens did you use?

Very nice. Great atmosphere. Feels like I want to be on that warm and cosy ship.

Fine shot. If I can find it, I'll post pics of the QE2 in New York for the first time.

That is a beautiful ship....impressive.

This image shows her looking great even in the low light.

Thanks for posting the image.

The EXIF shows a Nikon D3 camera, with some lens at 70mm, f/2.8, and ISO 6400. We'll have to wait for the OP's comments on lens, but I'd guess at the 70-200/2.8VR since he'd want the ability to zoom in and get some "closeup" shots. At least, that's how I'd be thinking. It could also be the 24-70/2.8, though, or one of the older lenses in the lineup (28-70, 35-70, etc.)

I like the picture, but I have to say - it looks slightly oversharpened, and this brings out the noise in the image. It has the telltale pixelated lights from an image that may have been slightly over-sharpened.

But to echo everyone else, a very fine capture.
