The RMS Queen Mary 2 is an ocean liner named after the Cunard Lines original Queen Mary, which was in turn named after British Queen Mary of Teck, wife of King George V. It does not commemorate the reign of Queen Mary II. At the time of her construction in 2003 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the Queen Mary 2 was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and at gross tonnage (GT) of 148,528 tons, was also the largest. She lost the gross tonnage distinction to Royal Caribbean International's 154,407 GT Freedom of the Seas in April 2006, but Queen Mary 2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship) ever built, and her width, length, and waterline breadth are unsurpassed by any other passenger ship.[6] Moreover, the Queen Mary 2 displaces approximately 76,000 tons; the Royal Caribbean Freedom ships displace about 64,000 tons. The Queen Mary 2 was the first major ocean liner built since the Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1969.

Amazing day on the ice! Ice skating has alway made me nervous as I has visions of being skated over, skating over someone or cracking my head open. I gripped to the side looking like and idiot but after many near death experiences, I got the hang of it. It was lovely after that, gliding and watching the other skaters. It's a very New York thing to do and I am glad I got the hang of it. We then went shopping on 5th Ave and I bought a beautiful dress from Bloomingdales. Always wanted to go to that store. It was another beautiful day and tonight I am going to see Mission Impossible 4 with the family.

A shot taken with my 55mm f1.2 lens. Still using live view to accurately focus as it can be a nightmare!
This is definitely my favourite lens and I think it is because it is so difficult (for me) to control. With the lens being manual focus, it really feels like you are taking a photo rather than the camera taking a photo. So when I get a shot that I think is acceptable I feel like I have achieved more... If that makes sense? Don't get me wrong, my other gear is sharper and produces far better images with less colour fringing, but I didn't buy this lens to shoot at anything other than f1.2 really!
