That is the store on Castaway Cay. We were the second family off the ship that morning so got there really early. I love having the store practically to myself!!

The view from our veranda at Key West.

Some of the pictures posted on this thread are amazing. The colors and clarity is great. What kind of cameras is everyone using? I imagine a lot of you use SLRs as oppose to Point and Click/Shoot's.

I have an old Canon Digital Elph (2.1 Megapixals). I bought before our first cruise in 2003 and plan to upgrade before my next one.

Our sailaway from St. Thomas has always had a rainbow. Here the one from our 2004 cruise.

Question: Those taking the lovely sunsets or sunrise over water pics...are you using "real" film or digital? My DH is into photography (but all the shots I post are my lousy ones) and swears that those are all real film cameras and cannot be done w/digital...I don't believe that (or I wish not as I don't know how to use anything but digital).
THANKS

Well...day 100, it seems...let's see what's left in my pile at photobucket...

Mine are all digital. I used an HP735 (I believe) for all of them. I upgraded this year to the HP945 and we'll try out more sunsets and water pics in 50 days!

Here is sunrise at Grand Cayman. It is a digital pic.

I know this isn't the greatest quality by professional standards but it was taken from our verandah during the night by balancing the camera on a box of wine on the railing as a makeshift tripod, LOL.

I use an HP 3.1MP Photosmart digital camera that is almost 3 yrs old. It's dropped a few times so sometimes the shutter doesn't open all the way and I'll be repalcing it one of these days, but overall I take a lot of amateur pictures and I've always been happy with the quaility. My pictures could probably be better but I usually use just the two star quality instead of the three since they come out pretty well and I can get more on the card that way.

That one looks so cool!

 

[purplern]

I'll second that!!! Neat!

LOVE that picture pea-n-me!!!
Here is my picture for the day...

my dad and my gradfather posing with Goofy... I don't know if any of you ever read the ridiculous adults thread - but i posted on there about my grandfather (in a good way) having to always take his picture with EVERY character.... This is my favorite one of him and a character.

Although this picture is of my brother, it is one of my favorites because all of the people in the background are the people we were with. I think it is cool the way it came out like that, without us planning it.

Sorry i meant to add this on to my post but i forgot.
I wanted to tell challada that i used both a digital camera and a regular camera to take pictures of the sunset (i took a class and learned all about the regular camera and film so i thought i could make it better) and they both turned out about the same. I would say just go with the digital because it is less work.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Glad you guys liked the picture, I almost didn't post it.

I personally will always be a true 35mm film fan. Though I like digitals convenience, I just love cameras and film and all that stuff. Plus, no matter what you say about quality... the bigger you blow up a digital picture, the worse it looks... You never have to worry about that with regular film. Just my opinion

That is simply not true and I disagree... Some digital pictures do lose quality because they aren't the right megapixels to be enlarged. It really depends on the type of digital camera you buy. I have a beautiful picture taken by a professional photograhper of dds that was done in digital. It was blown up to 16 by 20 and it is fine. You can't tell.

 

[ann-e-mator]

Thats why I was just giving my opinion... Just my experience I've had with them. Professionals all use digital, and your right they do turn out great, but they have WAY better quality stuff. I bought a 1500 dollar digital camera and got junk. Guess it just depends.

I remember that thread & your post about your GF. He sounds & looks like a very fun guy who loves life.
