Ships of Kanmon Strait

It was a full moon over Garden Paradise Kitakyushu when the famed Japanese cruise ship NIPPON MARU sailed thru the Kanmon Straits of Japan on the night of October 17, 2024.  And, once in a blue moon, a picture that did not turn out as expected actually turns out to be better than could have been expected. This is one such photograph: The photo is asking a lot of questions! Nippon Maru at night. The photograph is basically asking the viewer "What is this?" and then "OK, but WHAT ship?" It's kind of cool how the lights look like question marks. None of the photos taken turned out well. This was the best of the bunch. Really need to get another tripod and prep better for night shooting.   However, the video turned out OK considering a used old model JVC Everio video camera was used. The Slik tripod helped as much as it could but relatively strong wind was a factor. Not bad for spur of the moment, minimal preparation, and first time night filming. Vessel Name: NIPPO...
