Queen Mary 2
Kowloon, Hong Kong
The Queen Mary 2 prepares to dock at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Hong Kong. Tough shot this one. We knew she was scheduled to dock at 0700 but with first light at 0645 and a deceptively fast moving subject we knew that getting any kind of shot with decent brightness and sharpness was going to be a challenge. She was a bit ahead of schedule and we arrived on the scene just as QM2 was being turned to be pulled into the pier. The sun was just starting to rise, casting some much needed light on the port side facing. We literally had a couple of fleeting minutes to get these shots, so we felt pretty lucky. But after taking all things into account, sometimes you make your own luck.
