Digital photos from a moving cruise ship or train


I will be on a cruise to Alaska the end of this month. I have a Canon A95, and am wondering how to take the best shots from a moving cruise ship or train. Thanks for your help!

Linda: I just came back from the same cruise and also took the train trip in Ketchikan.

Suggestions:

1. Set the camera to ISO 400 when the ship or train is moving. This will produce fast shutter speeds to prevent blur from the motion.

2. On the train, get into the last car. Then, you can shoot from the back observation deck, the best spot.

3. Try not to shoot into the sun. Move around the ship to find a good shooting location, on the highest available deck.

Have a great trip! I sure did.
