Early in the morning I saw a large cruise ship all lit up from the window in my cabin. The ship passed us relatively quickly. Once we arrived in Southampton we saw that the large ship that passed us was the Queen Elizabeth.
I was part of a team of six photographers that took ~30,000 images as the MV Explorer (Semester at Sea Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage) transits the Kiel Canal in Germany.Howard Ignatius used the images to create this time-lapse video of the passage through the canal.
Walking to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 10-100 mm VR lens (ISO 180, 100 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec).
This was the closest I got to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Ever since the Pussy Riot protest against Putin, cameras have been banned inside the church – even if off and inside a backpack. Thus, I didn’t go inside.
