Vacation Photos

[Mier]

Here's a few of my favorite vacation photos taken during December 2009-January 2010.
All taken with my Nikon D3000 at Strand in the Cape.

Those look flippen good man!

Thanks. I still consider myself a beginner.

I have to confess, I have started using Lightroom about two weeks ago and it's incredible. Very useful for making sure the horizon is straight (especially for ocean shots), for re-framing shots and enhancing the colours. It only lacks perspective correction.

I love your colours in this one:

Yeah the mountain pass and all those beaches just after Strand (heading in Hermanus' direction) really are beautiful

Yes it's great. My sister lives in Somerset West, here's the view of the bay from her house:

If you read this thread, you aren't supposed to take your dslr on vacation

Just because its on the interwebs it doesnt mean its necessarily reliable - just look at Ken cRockwell's site if you need further proof of that.

Wow man, I live in Strand but the way you captured it . . . never seen before.

 

[Mier]

Lol. The camera is nothing compared to a stuff you need for a two-year old.

I must admit though, I'd like to change my 18-55 and 70-300 lenses for a 18-200 lens and a 35mm prime. I don't like changing lenses often on vacation, especially on the beach. So a more 'all-in-one' lens is probably better suited for vacations.

Sounds to me like what you really need is a second body . . . .

Thanks ! We rented a place on the beach at Emerald Bay and we'll definately go back again.

Just saw on outdoorphoto, there is a 18-200mm up for grabs.
