Despite that we were out and about. We were drawn to the cruise ship the Costa Classica - which plies a cruise route around Asia - and is owned by the same company as the ill fated cruise ship grounded off Tuscany. The Classica has had it share of troubles too - running aground in Shanghai, passengers in suicide pacts, and problems with Chinese visas for passengers. Here's a two panel pano of the ship tied up at the Ocean Terminal <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/2012Panos/2PanoCostaW.jpg.html> and here is a 5 panel pano of the chilly Hong Kong harbour from the Tsim Sha Tsui side of the Star Ferry terminal. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/2012Panos/5PanCostaW.jpg.html> Both panos taken with the GH2 and the 20mm f1.7 processed in CS4 Please look large. All C&C welcome Howard
