Blog Smog. The tale of a modern day epidemic.
Toward the end of our cruise, we were in the North Sea. I was filming from our balcony as I always did, but rushed inside to get a shot of something out of the bedroom window, when a huge wave swept over the bow & came in thru the balcony door! Lucky for me that I came in or I'd still be mourning the loss of my XLH1!

Jackie and Jake and the Day at the Lake
I did this when I first got my XLH1, before I had any presets or knew how to use any other features. I was also new to Final Cut Pro, but we had fun making it.
This was in Dublin, Ireland, where we got off the ship to eat at a pub and walk around briefly, catching this street performer.
I was up and on the balcony at 5 am looking for the monument to the Covenanters who died when the ship they were on, the Crown of London, sank. My 8th Great-Grandfather was one of the few survivors. I did get it, but didn't realize it until I got home and was editing the footage!
A very quick trip to Belfast, Ireland; didn't turn out the way we had hoped.
Before the wedding
While in Oban, it was raining quite a bit, so we didn't get off the ship. But we did have a very nice view of the port & town. Unfortunately for one of the guests on our ship, she fell off the pier onto the rocks at low tide and was taken away in an ambulance. I believe she met up with the ship a few ports later.
On the Azamara Journey leaving out of Copenhagen, Denmark on July 31, 2008. (Langelinie pier.) If you ever get to cruise out of this port, make sure you go a day early so you can see the city! It's beautiful, but since I missed my connecting flight in Paris & got there late, my friend, Diane, and I only got to see what was between the airport & the pier on our mad dash to make the ship!
I only made two out of the 4 days this year since it was just too exhausting for me, so I didn't get much footage. But I did see Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville), Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter), and the Ghost Hunters.
