As our own cruise ship slowly made an evening departure from Valletta Harbor, I photographed another cruise ship still at the dock, using a very slow shutter speed of one and one third second. While the shutter was open, I moved the camera slowly up and down and from left to right, mimicking the motion of a ship. The ship, illuminated in hundreds of tiny lights, and several very large ones, becomes an abstraction, a study in motion, even though it is standing still.
