General Cargo Ship COSMIC ACE in the Kanmon Straits

The general cargo ship COSMIC ACE recently sailed the Kanmon Strait between Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu Japan. On a hot and muggy afternoon on July 28, 2024, Ship Freakazoid captured this vessel on digital "film" with both an Olympus e 520 DSLR camera with Zuiko 150mm lens (photographs) and a JVC Everio GZ-E265-N video camera with Konica Minolta 54x zoom lens (video) for your viewing pleasure, reference, or whatever it is you need it for.

After some business in Japan and then Korea, Cosmic Ace is now headed to Long Beach, California USA, perhaps in search of California Girls at Surf City, where the girls are two to one.  And, yes, Ship Freakazoid is also a Jan & Dean and Beach Boys freakazoid!

The Singapore flagged container ship NYK FUTAGO passed thru the Kanmon Straits of Japan on a lovely but hot (36C-97F) mid-September afternoon. The straits were calm.  The air was heavy. The sunset was lovely. NYK Futago was glorious.  NOTE:   NO filters used & ZERO editing done (Photoshop etc.)  Silhouette of container ship sailing at sunset - NYK FUTAGO This 267 meter long cargo ship was captured by Ship Freakazoid as it sailed through the Kanmon Strait between the Garden Paradise Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki at sunset on September 17, 2024.  As per usual, SF used his trusty secondhand Olympus E-520 DSLR camera equipped with a Zuiko 150mm lens to photograph this lovely vessel.  Settings in the above photo were:  f/11 , ISO 100 , 1/1600 sec.
