Photos from my OTHER vacation

[zackiedawg]

When I'm not hitting Disney World every other month or so, my other annual regular vacation is a cruise. I have been away on a 10-day cruise (and a week of catching back up at work), which visited Half Moon Cay Bahamas, St. Thomas, Dominica, Aruba, and Curacao. Great cruise, awesome itinerary, and wonderful photo opportunities. It was also my first cruise with my DSLR, so I gave it a good workout.

If anyone wants to peak through my gallery of the trip, please do:

This was playing with the shallow depth of field on my 50mm F1.7 lens at ISO1600 late at night...a ship crewmember working on a winch:

This is a panorama of the city of Willemstad, Curacao - a great blend of Dutch architecture and Caribbean colors:

Here's my ship, the Noordam, at dock in Curacao on a choppy sea day:

Beautiful as always. That's one of my favorite shots of Curacao, the colors of the ABC islands and the dutch architecture are great. Haven't been to Curacao, but I have been to Aruba and loved it.
