I've posted a short video of the Delta Queen leaving Cheatham Lock in TN. The video was shot a little past 10 PM on May 19th of this year.
I HIGHLY recommend that you click the "watch in high quality" link below the video screen. For some reason (file size, I presume), YouTube greatly reduces the quality of videos. Even the "high quality" version is distorted to some extent.

Enjoy!

Pat, VERY nice, thanks a bunch. I love the stack smoke as the engine room asks for power leaving the lock...And the night theme, so unusual. Is there more? Or more in the future? I need to post a five star comment on Youtube...

Thanks, Bruno, for the kind words!
I shot a few other videos that evening, but they were of the DQ waiting below the dam to enter the lock. That area is very dark and I constantly had to refocus and make other adjustments; those videos didn't turn out very good.
Now that I know the DQ's usual schedule through the dam, there will be many more pictures and videos in the future.
Due to a change in plans, she'll be coming back through this Sunday instead of Monday. If it's at the usual time, I'll be there waiting.
