One of the things of many on a cruise ship is the entertainment on board. This was no exception with the Norwegian Cruise Line. On board, we had the Beatles (well, sort of). They were great with music and playing. They are called Beatle Mania from England. I enjoyed them, and here is a little of them. Enjoy.

Working with what you are given when it comes to travel photography
I love to travel and all of the places I have been to. Most of those have been on vacation—most of the time, it's on a cruise when I am on vacation. When you cruise and arrive at the islands and take a tour, it's not in the so call best light. Take, for example, the island of TORTOLA in the Caribbeans.
The Island of Tortola
My wife and I signed up for an excursion to one of their popular beaches. We are in a van and heading to the beach, looking out the window. Taking what was given me, I was able to pull off some pictures that I felt summed up the island.
The Beach
While not in ideal conditions, I took pictures that I liked. I always want to take something that is not a snapshot. Maybe someday, we may go back and spend time on this island and get those pictures that we all love. Sunrise and Sunset. Until then, I will enjoy the vacation and what I love. Photography.

The Birds
About 6 months ago, I purchased the Canon R-5. I love it. I have been doing people primarily, and now I had a chance to do the animal eye detection on this camera. It did not let me down.
The Dominican Republic
When I travel and walkabout, I use the Aperture Priority setting at F5.6 with an ISO of 200-400. I use this because most of the time, when I am walking, it is daytime, and I will get the speed I need. I had fun with these birds. I call it birds in love. After all, its SPRING :)
Nice Vacation
It’s been some time since I have placed a post. I have been busy with things I can’t publish yet, and yes, I took some time off to enjoy our first cruise since 2019. We had a great time and lots of exciting pictures.
While waiting for my wife to get ready for the evening, I watched this tug watching us and thought I could use this picture. I love the way the water splashed over the boat. Then I wanted to find a saying that would match the scene. Yes, we got back to a few challenges—nothing new. But as the phrase say, Life goes on. So true.
Good Morning Cincinnati, Ohio
Good morning Cincinnati! Last week I needed to go to 3 large cities in three days. Usually, I always carry my Canon equipment with me, but I have been playing more and more with my iPhone, and this is the case again. While I say this, if I am on a professional job, I can do more and better with my Canon equipment.( at least at this time)

As much time I practice my photography, I also do this in my post processing. I have been recently going thru some classes with Ricord learning true compositing. I say true because I want to make it seem like it was there. Some call this not natural photography. I call it art and, yes, photography. Just about every picture is corrected one way or another that you see on the web, in magazines, and so on. The cameras do have their limitation.
I looked at this photo from my hotel room. Out came my iPhone, and I made about four shots and looked at which one was best as far as focus. The original sky was nothing to write home about, so you got it; the sky was replaced with a sky I wanted and made it feel like a sunrise. But, most importantly, for me, a picture I like.
