Category Archives: Cameras But looking back I got this fantastic view of the sunlight from the setting sun streaming through the gap in the clouds with sheets of rain from the storm falling just inland from the coast. I once again turned to my Canon S100 to capture the scene. From the features on the ground, the aircraft would have been over or just south of Eisenhower, Lehigh Acres, Florida. You can make out the Gulf coast and the southern end of Estero Bay between the two sheets of rain in the center of the photo.  As we approached the west coast of Florida I saw a wall of cloud to the south-east, pretty much aligned with the coast, illuminated from the setting sun to the west. I shot several frames of the scene with my Canon S100. 
Striking.

You should also take advantage of zoom lenses which are easier to carry than multiple prime lenses. My current favorite is the Canon 28-300. It’s not as inconspicuous as the Nikon equivalent (there’s a Tamron for the Canon that’s more affordable) but I’m a bit of a Canon snob. Whatever the camera and whatever the lens manufacturer, the 28-300mm range is great for travel photography.

These images are awesome–they’d make a great series of prints (do you have more to make it a set of 4?).
Ditto.
What variations are you looking for in the four images? I have more but I’ve not processed them.
Just wondering if you’ve got enough variety to make a ‘set’ of prints. That someone could either hang as a group of four (or three, whatever). Or display one, store the other three. To switch out when they wanted a fresh look. My new instant gallery frames let you store a bunch of extra prints in back. I”m looking for print series to promote after we’re up & running. (I’m “Change of Art” — forgot to switch when commenting.)
