He said that I am making people jealous about my trip. :) Well. Don't be! There are just too many places to visit in my life. I haven't had enough time to visit all the amazing places on earth.After all, it's about seeking our happiness in our life, isn't it? This bridge was taken at the Tampa … [Read more...]
Ghost Town At Mahogany Bay Roatan
This is our third stop on our Caribbean cruise trip after Cozumel Mexico and Belize. This is a very small town built just for the cruise ship and tourism. After all passengers are on board, the town looks like a ghost town. A very colorful ghost town.We did our zip-line excursion and enjoy a very crowded beach. There was about 2000 tourists in the town from two Carnival cruise ships - Legend and Glory. … [Read more...]
Belize Xanantunich Maya Temples
I have much more respect to the ancient history and culture after seeing this wonderful temple ruin at Belize. The tour guide told us a much different story than the one I saw on discover channel. It was a good hike to the top of the temple and we feel the power of being on top of the entire village. You really feel like a KING of the world.Here are the view from the top of the temple.And view from the left side. … [Read more...]
Goodbye Yellow Pedicab
Really and honestly, this is my last Cozumel Travel Photos. I have had lots fun enjoying the beach for two of us and taking photos that is so memorable. We are heading back to the cruise ship and saw these yellow pedicabs. This is the perfect scene to capture people come and go.Tuning this image into HDR is not a very pleasant thing to do. There are too much details and lines on the ship, so the software won't line up correctly. … [Read more...]
Don’t Let Go
Don't Let Go! Well. We really don't want to leave the heaven where there is beach for only two of us, but we also don't want to be left behind. :) We will definitely come back to Cozumel Mexico.I like this photo because of the combination of blue, white and orange colors. I turn that into HRD and removed some minor objects in the background. Sometimes, taking several bracket shots without tripod is just hard. The ship is actually moving up … [Read more...]
Leaving the Heaven Behind
Finally, there is no more white sand beach for Two at Cozumel Beach! If you've never been to Heaven. You can see it here, here, here and here. This photo was taken when we were ready to lave the heaven behind us at Cozumel Port. We will be heading to the next stop at Belize on our Caribbean Cruise trip.I highly recommend you to visit Cozumel at least once in your lifetime. It's one of the best vacation I've ever had.I took 3 bracket shots … [Read more...]
Beauty On The Beach In The Heaven
Hmm.. I haven't really shared any photos of my wife on the public domain other than Flickr for families and friends. This is probably the few of them that will get exposed. :) I feel like I am the paparazzi watching celebrity on the private island. BTW, she doesn't know she is on this blog. LOL! Well. It's PG13 anyway. :) These are also few of the photos on this blog without ANY modification or retouching other than cropped size. NO HDR … [Read more...]
Heaven For Two Of Us At Cozumel Beach
OK. OK. I promise there is no more Cozumel Beach For Two photos (See 1, 2, 3). Cozumel Beach is really a heaven for two of us. This is also the last HDR image I processed for Cozumel Beach. It's the heaven when there is no one else on the beach. I wished I had full day to spend on the beach, so I can see the sunset. This image is so far the best HDR image I produced and liked. I know I can do much better job in the future. I have to admit that … [Read more...]
Beach For Two – 3
As promised, I am posting new Cozumel Beach photos to proof that how enjoyable the beach is for just Two of Us. See Beach For Two 1 and Beach For Two 2. I specifically like the weather in early May. This is the first stop of our Caribbean Cruise Trip in early 2011. This is also a HDR image processed using 3 bracketed photos. I really like it.Camera: Canon 7DSoftware: Photoshop, Photomatix Pro … [Read more...]
Beach For Two – 2
I promised you two days ago that you will see more beach for two photo on Cozumel Beach in Mexico. This photo is also processed into HDR image to show more detail in the cloud. I have to admit that I am still not a master of Photomatix Pro. The image is still too BLUE. I hope there is a ways to partially process just the cloud. Maybe some HDR experts who see this image can give me some hints.Regardless, I am never tired of posting blue sky … [Read more...]
