One-Year Ago (19-June-2014) — Portugal

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 19: Semester at Sea, Summer 2014 Semester Voyage. Lisbon, Portugal.

We were still at sea while the sun rose over the Atlantic Ocean. The ship arrived in Lisbon, Portugal a bit after noon. As this was still a class day, we were not allowed off the ship after we docked. There were some amazing clouds over Lisbon that afternoon and evening. Individual images can be viewed here.

Silhouette of the RV EGS Pioneer at Sunrise in the English Channel from the Deck of the MV Explorer. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 70-200 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 400, 200 mm, f/16, 1/250 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic and Photoshop CC 2014.

During last year’s Semester at Sea Spring Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer I managed to get 9 images of ships transiting the sun at sunrise or sunset. This year I was on the ship for both the last segment of the Enrichment Voyage, and the Summer Semester voyage — more days, but only got a couple of ship/sun/sunrise/sunset transit images. This one was close during our final sunrise as we approached Southampton.
