Hawaii Super Ferry

I think I'll take a little break from my parking structure. I just went on a trip over the weekend for work to the island of Maui. I rode our inter-island vehicle transport Super Ferry named the Alakai. The ferry currently only travels between Oahu and Maui but I'm sure will venture to other island in the future. It's about a 3 hour trip and depending on the sea conditions it can get pretty bumpy. I did see a baby throw up on this ride, though I decided not to shoot that in HDR :)

 

This is the view of the back of the vessel. The view of the first class front view will come next.

 

For this shot I waited for everyone to get off the ferry so I had it all to myself. Hand held auto bracketed 6 exposures so there's a little bit of movement in some spots. HDR tone mapped in Photomatix. Then blended the -3 and +2 exposures back onto it. No symmetry flips here. The architects of the boat kindly did that for me.
