Vacation in the Bahamas

We just returned from a cruise to the Bahamas. We boarded a cruise ship in Miami, and headed first stop, Key West. I never realized how big cruise ships are...




This is the port of Miama just as we were leaving.







I really didn't get to take that many photos. The second stop was in Nassau, where we did some snorkeling. The snorkeling was probably the highlight of the trip, but I never did puchase an underwater housing for my camera, and the film camera we had that was water tight, died as I tried to load it with a new roll of film the morning we were leaving.







The trip was actually part of a Scentsy retreat for Anji that I was lucky enough to tag along. We met with some new and old Scentsy friends.

Choices

One of the great things about photography today, is the multitude of choices that exist to capture images. Sometimes it is refreshing going lite (shooting with the cell phone). Other times the all manual style of the film camera's I have available is a great change. Of course there is times where the modern DSLR fits the bill...

The sequence

Sometimes the sequence of photos is what makes a photo interesting. Here is my dare devil niece diving sledding down a small but very steep slope of snow. She wasn't hurt at least not enough to stop her from trying the hill again and again.

It is difficult to see, but the distance she had air time is easily 6 feet.
