Dilettante Photography: Retrospective

Queen Victoria Leaving Hamburg (January 2015) Early January the QV has been at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg for a couple of days. Purpose was the installation of a new environmental technology to clean exhaust gas and thereby reduce emmissions. Currently, Carnival Corporation (QV's ultimate owner) is installing this so called 'scrubber technology' on around 30 of it's cruise ships.  #hamburg   #hamburgphotographers   #schiffsbegrüßungsanlage   #cruises   #cruiseship   #cruiseships   #queenvictoria   #carnivalcruise  

This is a collection of photos I posted during 2014. They have all been taken on a pontoon at the Elbe River in the German city of Wedel (just outside the city limits of Hamburg). There is a ship welcome facility which greets all in- and outbound ships to and from the port of Hamburg with the national anthem of the flag they are sailing under.  #hamburgphotographers   #schiffsbegrüßungsanlage   #pontoons   #pontoon   #willkommhöft
