Stop right there.

The Iron Man Mach VI Prototype warns you against getting too close.

 

I've just returned from my first ever cruise, a four-night on the Disney Magic. It was a fantastic trip all around and I can't wait to go on another! Before going, I upgraded to a Pentax K-1 and had planned to get a 24-70 lens but nothing came up for the price I want to pay, so at the last minute, I ended up ordering a Samyang 24mm F1.4 so I'd have something wider than my 31mm Limited, not counting my fisheye of course! I'm very happy with the decision; the large aperture means that you can do some interesting depth of field tricks that you can't do with your standard zoom lens. This shot was "only" F2.2 and still narrow enough to not have the whole hand in focus. Between this lens, my Samyang 12mm fisheye, and my Vivitar Series 1 (aka Samyang!) 85mm F1.4, I actually shot most of my photos from this trip in manual focus; in fact almost twice as many manual as autofocus.

 

This Iron Man is in the Avengers Academy area, only accessible to adults during "open house" times, which are on the first day then only briefly the rest of the cruise. It's in the kid's Oceaneer Club area.
