Ancon Beach

LC1, f5, 1/100, ISO 100, JPG, 62mm

Ok, I find beach holidays a waste of time and don't like sitting at the beach and baking in the sun. Still, I decided that coming to Cuba I should at least see one of the beaches. While the beaches are very nice it was a horrible experience, there is absolutely nothing to do and unless you have one of the all inclusive badges you can not even buy any drinks. I was glad to leave after only 2h and go to see the national park and the waterfall there.
I don't think I will return to a beach anytime soon.

On a different note, Ricoh has today announced the new GXR 'camera'. You can read my thoughts about it here.

GRD II, f5, 1/500, ISO 80, RAW

The weather has been grey and rainy all day so I have not been taking many pictures and have been a bit uninspired. On my way home I saw this though and found it would make a nice picture due to the colors and contrast between the sand and sky. I added strong vignetting and used a very high contrast for this to give it an almost HDR look.
