I was on a 2 day inaugural cruise onboard the brand new Celebrity Solstice shooting photos for the virtual tour and of course I found plenty of bokeh :) The ship was absolutely amazing as was the service. I would highly recommend it.
HBW!

Touch the bottle wear the wineglas, say cheers in the chat, the avatar raises the wineglass and toasted the other.
Fuori fa freddo, e quale miglior occasione starsene in casa e lasciarsi scaldare da un camino che arde sorseggiando un bicchiere di buon vino?
The erstwhile Barossa Wine Train formed of former South Australian Railway 'Bluebird' railcars 251/102/51 rolls into the yard at Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley during September 2000.
If you've got an hour or two I could fill you in on the history of this privately owned tourist operation.
The railway to the Barossa is now moribund and the railcars sit forlornly in storage at the National Railway Museum in Adelaide. If you have lazy million and somewhere to run them, they could be yours!
No, I haven’t gone off the deep end. It’s just how creativity works. Flickr has this challenge every week called #FlickrFriday. This week’s theme is #Flip. As I was chewing on that (Light switch? Coin?, Trampoline?) my wife told me to toss an old bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. The light bulb went off.
I remembered looking at a picture about 40 years ago — a bottle of wine, a glass of wine and a French château. They were sort of lined up but the château was (of course) way in the background. In the wine glass, the château was reflected upside down. It’s just how the optics work with the curved glass of a wine glass. So I took the bottle and a wine glass up on Monte Sano for my normal sunrise shot and Presto! Flipped.
I’m really pleased with the results. I knew it would flip the Sun and the horizon but I didn’t realize it would reflect the blue portion of the sky, from straight overhead, in the rest of the glass. The added contrast (cool light on warm light) was nice. I shot it a dozen different ways (of course). Some of the other compositions were quite interesting too. And it gave me other ideas I want to try now. Which, of course, is the whole point of the exercise/challenge.
