The other day when at the lighthouse I noticed two large ships heading south.
One was closer inshore than the other so I used the little Panasonic Lumix, at about middle zoom setting, and snapped the following shot to see if I could make out the word on the hull..............
So it was a container ship belonging to the Italia Marritima freight line.
Then I ramped it up to maximum optical zoom to see what the other ship was.......
A bulk ore carrier....empty.
Grainy shots but no worse than those from a multi-million dollar satellite at 22,000 miles and made with a camera that I can carry in my shirt pocket!
