The Cruise Ship [Summer Fun Contest Entry]

[KnownandUnknown]

Here is my (almost late) entry for the Summer Fun contest. I was supposed to make a summer-themed thing and I made a cruise ship. I just finished taking pictures and here it is!
My cruise ship has lots of features, which I will show in pictures. (which are sadly blurry)

The raft is secured with a chain and can be deployed.

That's it! I hope you liked it and didn't mind the poor quality of the pictures. I only have myself to blame for those.

It is wonderful, lots of great detail. And you have 24 hours to edit pictures if you wish to, though it is not at all necessary.
Thanks for entering.

Looks like you spent some time on this, great detail and all round good modelling. I can't say anything about the pictures, mine aren't usually any better, great model buddy, I'll be joining you momentarily.

might i suggest editing the post to move the main picture higher in the post, so it shows up on the main page?

Thanks! I'm not sure about the pictures, though. I don't think I could take them any better than I already did...

Thank you! Yes, it took some time to forge all the pieces I wanted. It's good to know the pictures aren't THAT bad, because most of mine will be similar quality...

Sadly I had to go to bed and by the time I woke up (now), The Mindstorms Dog has already forced mine off the main page again.

Nice ship, with lots of playability features as well.

A tip for better photography - use a tripod. When you rely on your hand to hold and shoot the camera, you will most likely get a lot of motion blur in your photos. With a tripod, your camera is on a steady base, and you can use the timer function to make it so that the camera takes a picture automatically without you having to touch anything.

For closeup shots, never use the zoom function because it'll rarely work well. The macro function (denoted by a flower on your camera) enables your camera to take clear close up pictures.

Thanks for the tips, I could've sworn I had macro on. But I wasn't using a tripod... I think I have one somewhere. I'll keep that in mind.
