I've Been On A Cruise

Hiya guys,

I have been away for the past two weeks because I was on a cruise to Boston, Maine, Bar Harbor, Bay of Fundy, Peggy's Cove and Halifax, Nova Scotia. We had a wonderful time and I took about 300 pictures. With Abby's permission, I will post a few of them for you at a later date.

I love the cruising lifestyle. We've been on one for each of the last four winters and plan on one this coming March to the Eastern Caribbean (out of Baltimore) We also want to do a New England/Canada cruise like you describe. And, yes, there are plenty of opportunity for wonderful photographs.

Sounds like a wonderful cruise. I would like to go sailing up the coast on a tall ship and be a part of the crew.

That sounds like a great cruise Harold! I would prefer to go that direction myself. Hope Abbie says it is ok!

Thank you people. Right now my wife and I are baby sitting our grand children so I'm a little late with my replies. 😀 my favorite stop overs were Bar Harbor and Peggy's Cove. I met a fantastic artist in Peggy's Cove and I'm going to try to get him to join FAA. I would reccomend taking a cruise to everyone. The crew treats you like royalty with the best dinners you could possibly imagine and your state rooms are cleaned several times a day. Of course the scenery is tops for all you photographers. I have some great shots of Light houses, architecture and forest scenes to share with you once I get them prepared.

Thanks guys. My wife definitely deserved this trip because of her very busy schedule with babysitting our grandchildren and her commitments to our church.

Hiya Digital. I haven't gotten around to posting my prices yet. I will later. Right now I am preparing more shots. Thanks for asking.

Harold, beautiful captures of the Maine coastline. I agree, you should be selling those images.

Can i ask you your professinal oppinion of my new fine art portraits ? how are they ?

Digital, painting portraits is one of the most difficult subjects you can paint. It has been said that if you can paint portraits, you can paint anything. The reason for that statement is because an artist is challenged for his drawing skills, his sense of colors and every one of its subtle changes with tones and hues, lighting, not to mention his skills with brush styles and techniques. Having said all that, my favorite portrait of yours is Art Prints

It shows me that you aren't afraid to leave your signature brushwork and you aren't afraid to use color. If you are trying to paint portraits in a stylistic fashion I would suggest you push that style even further than your samples show me. Stay with this style. If you are trying for a realistic portrait, you have a way to go.

Watch your angles on the face. Eyeballs are half hidden by eyelids and always the top of the eye is in a subtle shadow created by the upper eyelid. Its all of these fine points you have to deal with when painting portraits. A person's likeness begins with the eyes and mouth. But I like to tell my students that if you paint a person's form using light and shadows without any details, you could tell who it is. So using that as your scale, always paint the form first, then go for the details not vice-versa.

I am glad you enjoyed this cruise. I went on a similar one a few years ago and there was amazing scenery. We started in Montreal and ended in Boston, it was fabulous, and I would recommend it. I had hoped to time it for the fall foliage color, but was just a little too early. It was still an amazing trip.

Hiya Ann,
Before we took off I thought we were going to spend more time on board ship because there wasn't that much to see but was I ever wrong. The only place that I thought was a let down was St. John's. If it were'nt for The Bay Of Fundy St. John's would have been nothing more than a bunch of old buildings in an old town.
