Elation Piano Bar

Here’s a silly photo for you.  I took this on board the Carnival Elation cruise ship, within their piano bar.  The entire bar is designed with a New York City theme and that includes this giant replica of the Statue of Liberty’s head.  Sort of a weird thing to find in a bar, but it sort of worked!!

Elation

I’m posting this photo for my friend David.  He asked me to keeping posting drone photos….  I don’t know why….  Or maybe I do.  Regardless, this is the Carnival Elation from above while it was anchored in the Bahamas.

Elation's Top Decks

You’ll have to forgive me.  You might get a heavy dose of aerial photography since I have a new (my first) drone.  I got my drone (DJI Mavic Pro) about 2 days before our trip.  So, I probably had a grand total of 10 flights with it before we got on the cruise ship.  I almost didn’t take it with me since it was so new and I didn’t have any experience with drones.  It is extremely easy to fly, operate and get some great video and photos. 

Tonight’s photo was from our 2nd day on the cruise when the ship was anchored off the shore of Princess Cay Bahamas.  I flew the drone over the ship and took 5 shots straight down (I couldn’t get the entire ship in one photo) and then merged them together in Photoshop later to get this final photo.  Frankly, I think this photo is pretty darn good when I think about how little drone experience I had at the time. 

By the way, this might be one of the last photos of this ship in its current shape/design.  It is going into dry dock very soon and the top decks are getting completely redone (new pools, water slides, etc…).  I’m curious to see how different it will look after.  Anyway, tell me what you think for this aerial photo.

Carnival Elation

We just got back from our latest adventure.  We spent a few days visiting family in northern Florida and then hopped on aboard the Carnival Elation for a relaxing cruising.  A few days before we left, I got a new toy… I mean a new professional tool.  I got myself a DJI Mavic Pro…. And I have to tell you it is great.  Within a few flights I was very comfortable with it.  So while on our cruise, I captured this photo of the Carnival Elation off the coast of Princess Cay (Bahamas). 

I launched the drone from the island and flew it out past the ship to get this angle back towards the shore.  Amazing toy… I mean tool.  More aeriel photos to come in the future.
