Shot of the Queen Mary 2 leaving American Samoa. What an impressive boat. This thing is huge. There was another cruise ship the week before but it was dwarfed by this ship. I'm lucky enough to live on the water on Pago Pago Bay so I was also able to watch this boat leave. It was amazing at how tight she could turn around. I'm sure I didn't do her justice.

That is a nice photo. If you ever photograph the rescue helicopter there, please send me a pic. I work with the owners here in Hawaii.


Aloha,

Aloha Linkzi, just sent you a PM and there is an open invitation to anyone travelling to American Samoa to drop me a line and I would be more than happy to show you around. To answer you question, I have been up in the helicopter and they do a top notch job here in American Samoa. I have a couple of photos of the helicopter but nothing worth posting (mostly photos of them flying over Pago Pago harbour).

Got PS? One of the nice things about RAW is the ability to blend two different exposures, and/or two different color balances from the same picture. This isn't as good as using two different exposures, but a Layer Mask is easily reversible. Give it a try to adjust the exposure on different areas of your shot: Airport runway shoot

Any suggestions?

Besides the link which gives an example? I agree with your wife.

Or, to blend two different exposures:
