I know they are:

*Grainy

*Crappy

*Not 23megapixels of DSLR awesome.

 

 

 

I loved watching the sun set like this every day.

Heading through the Gibraltar Pass, could hardly stand up on deck, they eventually closed it. 70mph sustained winds was AWESOME.

That damn channel that shows where you are is my favorite! Royal Caribbean's in nicer than Carnival. Not to mention we were in a Penthouse Suite and didn't have an LCD TV...

Just a little P&S, Canon SX30.

Best part is the IS 35x zoom. :megusta:

 

That's one of the best bridge cameras out there IMO. I've come close to getting one and may still. I'm not one for taking my DSLR's on vacation. When I do, I most always have a bridge camera and P&S with me too.

1, 2, and 7 are cool. Horizons typically look best straightened, but thats minor. I'd probably try to bring out more contrast between the shadows of the foreground stuff and the sea/sky in #2.

 

#7 is nicely composed, the only thing that might make it look better is some type of filter or maybe just a white balance adjustment. The yellow look is very odd looking.

Here are my vacation pics (resized) from my crappy point and shoot. I need to go back. Hopefully I can IMG link to Facebook...

Yeah, I must go there. It looks like the place in "Couples Retreat"

Moorea, French Polynesia. Hilton Lagoon Resort and Spa. Couples retreat was in Bora Bora, which is a different island about a 45 min flight away, but the same set up with the over-water bungalow's. We went to Moorea instead of Bora Bora because there is more to do on the island, you can get to it with a 45 min ferry ride from Tahiti, and the snorkeling at our resort was supposed to be some of the best (and I believe that).

 

Save up your hotel points! I could have never afforded to go there without them.

Fuck Dave Ramsey, I'm getting my credit cards out of the safe and taking a vacation!
