Atlantic Crossing.
In March, we completed a transatlantic cruise from Rio de Janeiro to Barcelona. There were many beautiful days and nights at sea. One evening, after dinner, (we usually eat pretty early), we stepped out on the deck, attracted by a beautiful orange glow through the windows in the restaurant. We were almost at the end of the journey across the Atlantic and getting close to entering the Mediterranean Sea on our way to Barcelona. As the sun sunk below the horizon the sky exploded with color.
About the photo: One of the new tools I discovered when exploring the image processing tools of the Samsung S23 is the Remastering function. Other than straightening the horizon in Lightroom, the image above is only modified in the S23U photo Remaster process. I included the unretouched original image for comparison. Note that the orange tone is much stronger in the original. Truth is, I don’t remember which of the two images is more accurate. It was a very strong orange glow in the sky. The remastered image is a more pleasing glow so that’s the version I kept.
If you like to pixel-peep, you can view both of these images in 2K HD on my Flickr site here. For more beautiful skies, check out Hammad Rais and his Weekend Sky theme. His latest post is here.
I encourage fellow bloggers to create their own Cellpic Sunday posts. I never have a specific topic for this feature, and the only rules are that the photo must be captured with a cell phone, iPad, or another mobile device… If you have an image from a drone or even a dashcam, that’s acceptable as well. The second rule is to link your challenge response to this post or leave a comment here with a link to your post in the comment. Oh, and, you don’t have to post it on a Sunday.

Safe travels, John and I’m looking forward to seeing what you were up to when you’re back.
Lovely, peaceful photo for today.
Here is mine:
Thanks, Sofia. We have had a great time traveling, Sofia, and we are only just over half done. I have a good six months of Travel Tuesday posts to write. 🙂

awesome and hello
Thanks, Jerry! Stick around for more!
Sunset over the sea is quite a sight John 🙂
I always enjoy sunsets at sea. Some are better than others, but most are truly beautiful.
This orange sunset is definitely mesmerizing.
Wishing you a safe and lovely trip 🙂
Thanks, Hammad. I just realized that I could link this one to Weekend Skies!”
Thank you so much, John 🙂

Amazing capture John! Transatlantic, wow… How long did it take?
It was a total of 15 nights. As they say, it was the best of times.
You have been on some amazing cruises. The sunset pictures you take are magnificent. I can see why those moments were magical.
Thanks, Marsha. Sometimes, like on this day, luck has it over skill. 🙂
That is true, John. It’s like Vince says in playing poker. 🙂

Hi John,
Hope to see more of that cruise as it’s one my husband has talked about doing. I have S22 and love the editing tools, especially the “erase object/shadows”, brilliant. Fantastic photo.
There will be more photos of places we visited on the cruise in the coming months. Stay tuned, as they say. 🙂
I will 😊
