Pirates of the Caribbean

Photo taken August 17, 2007 - Seattle, WA, USA.

We were on the Space Needle in Seattle and looking through one of the telescopes on the observation deck at a ship someone said had been used in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". I decided to try to see if I could get an image of the ship using afocal coupling between my Canon PowerShot and the telescope and recreate an image like what is seen in the movies when the hero looks at a ship through a telescope. It was quite a surprise to get as good an image as I did.
