David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Sunrise and early morning from the deck of the MV World Odyssey docked at the Osanbaski Pier in Yokohama. We had to wait for immigration officials before we could leave the ship. Click on the image to see a wider view.
After 10 days long days crossing the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii and taking classes every day it was good to see land. The MV World Odyssey arrived at the port of Yokohama early in the morning and docked at the Osanbashi Pier.
Once we cleared immigration control, we had to remain off the ship until everyone was cleared. It was cold. I’m glad I was wearing a sweater, coat, wool hat, and had a pair of “hunting gloves” from Norway for using a camera in the cold. In addition to a camera, I brought a tripod with a Mindarin Astro 360° rotating head for the tripod. This rotating head controls the camera for doing rotating panoramas or rotating time-lapse videos. I did several sets of images while on the Osanbashi Pier, which were then processed with AutoPano Giga Pro to create Little Planet, Mirror Ball, and Panorama views of the MV World Odyssey and the Yokohama skyline.

Later in the afternoon I made two 360° time-lapse videos. The first of people enjoying the day at the Yamashita Park along the Yokohama harbor, and the second from a park with a view of view of the Osanbashi Pier and the MV World Odyssey. The images were taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera that was controlled by a Mindarin Astro 360° rotating head on a tripod. The time-lapse video was then created using Photoshop CC and Premiere Pro CC.
