Holland-America Cruise

[jjeling]

Well, just talked to my parents and Im going on a 7 day cruise to Cozumel, Bahamas, and the Grand Cayman Islands. Should be quite fun. Figured Id share that with you guys. Looks like Im going to need a few more memory cards. Considering what the priority shots should be, the locals on the islands, or the landscape itself. Im leaning towards the locals since there are already thousands of shots of the landscape down there.

Very cool, nice little sping break, huh? My family and I went on a Carnival cruise which stopped in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Ilsa Rotan. It was too brief (like any vacation). The photographic possiblities are endless and I don't think I even scratched the surface when I was there. The problem I find when I go on vacation now is I either have fun and photograph or have fun doing vacation type things. It's hard to do both really well, especially with a family who aren't interested in getting the perfect shot. Is this your first time there?

yeah this will be the first time outside the country. Canada doesnt really count. I generally stray away from the family and have my own adventures taking pictures and turn in into my own vacation. I understand where your coming from. When there are opportunities to take pictures, its hard to focus on just enjoying yourself. Although, it is relaxing to take pictures when your compelled to instead of trying to push yourself to progress your skills as a photographer.
