This week, Ailsa has chosen ‘Indoors’ for her travel theme. I couldn’t decide what to post, then I thought of a couple of images I had taken indoors on a cruise ship. In the restaurant at lunchtime, the waiters were scurrying about, and I wanted to demonstrate this in my images.
See more on this theme here.

So much dash – in both senses, Sue.
Thanks, Tish! Glad you liked
You done good! The slow shutter speed works well in emphasizing the waiter’s movements while the diners wait patiently.
Thanks, Emilio!
Lovely blur on those waiters, Sue. Very accomplished indeed.
Best wishes, Pete.
Takes a bit of experimentation, and quite a few discarded attempts!!
I’m waiting for someone to fill my wine glass…
Indeed! There do seem to be a ridiculous number of glasses!
Great foreground/background.
Thanks, Victoria! 😀
I can’t quite imagine you on a cruise ship Sue!
Teehee! I always said I would never do it, but this year I did, and enjoyed the no need for constant unpacking/repacking, and heard some great talks, saw some interesting sights, met some lovely people. But it is really too expensive….
I like the motion and lack of in the photo, well captured.
Thank you! It was quite a challenge to get it to work!
I love the blurred rush of the waiters and the contrast with the static poses of the diners.
That was the plan, glad you like it, Suzanne 😀
The scurrying effect worked perfectly, Sue. I had to sit down and rest. 😉

Glad you like it, Janet!
Superb images which really convey the waiter’s bustle against the diners’ relaxed demeanour. 🙂
Job done, then!
Cheers! 🙂 Reminds me of Mick’s birthday evening in Tavira. The fastest waiters I ever saw. But I stopped them in their tracks by keeling over with heatstroke. Love a bit of drama 🙂 🙂
Oh, goodness…keep taking the water 😳
I do love the movement and stillness contrasting.
Thanks, Björn!
The motion blur makes these pictures Sue! Perfect choice for the challenge.
Thanks! I had some fun trying to get a shot or two that worked!
