I use lightroom 5 and photoshop cs5 for my images.

My Photoshop program is an older one from the 60's. :D It works pretty well for my purposes. Even my old program has more bells and whistles than I could ever figure out how to use. Wish I knew how to use it better than I do.
 
Ah, my ship has come in.

I believe thats a new Russian SSBN Borei Class Nuclear-Powered Submarine with his running lights on docked at your port.
 
Hee heee................ I gave too much info.
Here's a photo 3 hours earlier.

A ship made a very expensive boo boo trying to anchor offshore to wait out a storm so that a pilot could be put on board to bring it in to port.
....................um, ya don't do that here because of the sandy shoreline. Ships arrive off shore and go round in circles, zig zag, or whatever they want to do until they can come it do dock. Sometimes they are doing this for 2, 3 or 4 days. Some days, they arrive on time and are brought in almost as soon as they get here.
A local ship pilot must be on board to "drive" the ship in. If the weather is too bad, the ship just has to wait it out.

Anyway, the captain of the ship decided to anchor off shore. I have never heard of a ship doing this here. The winds were pretty nasty. 50 to 60 as I recall. He decided to anchor and wait it out. Well long story short, they didn't pay attention and the ship drifted in too close and once they noticed this, they tried to head out under full power. These ships are not known for power, so he ended up getting grounded and kept drifting farther on shore till he was right on the beach. The weather stayed bad for too long and they could not attach tow lines on it in an attempt to drag it off the sand.

It took weeks........... or months to decide what to do with it. They eventually made a half a dozen attempts to light it on fire to burn off the ships bunker fuel.
This folks, is your government at work, about to napalm the ship. :D

These photos were taken from 2 1/2 to 3 miles away. The road I was on was covered with local, and national TV trucks.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the New Carissa

A crop of the photo by one of the cranes. It was getting pretty hot by now.

What happens when a zillion tins of steel gets red hot?
Do you know?
I knew, but the government hot shots didn't know. Suppose I should have told em? :rolleyes:

Its fun to see what these look like on a big screen instead of some little phone.

First is a pic of a portion the Tanque Verde Valley area from my roof. Last is a short panorama of a sunset, again with my phone. Click on it and it's like enourmous. lol Still playing with the panorama effect on the phone.

The wife's new iPhone takes much better close-ups than my droid.

Those were from my droid, she won't let me touch her iPhone lol
The iPhone can get super closeups , much better.
 
The camera has about 1% to do with the photos. Ernesto, you have a talent. There are several of those shots that I would frame. Good stuff. When I get a second, I'll edit a few of them and put them up here if you dont care.
