Had a wonderful 2 week holiday cruising the South Pacific, great weather and beautiful islands

The first 2 shots were taken from a very small island called Dravuni Island, in the Fijian achipelago. It has a a population of just 200 people, very friendly and fantastic snorkling and diving.

Thats our cruise ship

Go on, rub it in!

I'm sitting inside 'cause it's cold, frosty and horrible outside.

And I've just been told to start wrapping the Xmas pressies!

Nice photo's though, glad you had a good time and look forward to seeing more of the South Pacific.
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

PPG entries.

I enjoy cruise holidays and have done seven or eight around the Med and Caribbean.

Sounds great and those are great pictures too. If that was the Caribbean the children (or their agents) would probably be demanding their fee - they always seem so commerically aware. Are the Pac Islanders the same?

Great shots of the kids jumping in the water - really makes me wish I was somewhere warm and sunny right now.

Sorry guys didn't mean to rub in the warm weather But it was quite hot on some days. Great for snorkling and swimming.
Took a stack of pics, just used 3 lenses all trip, DA 21mm, FA 77mm and DA 16-50mm I did take my DA 50-135mm but never took it out of the bag.

Didn't have any kids or islanders for that matter hitting me up for money, and I got quite a few shots of them.
There were a few of them selling fresh coconuts which I took advantage of, quite refreshing in the heat.

Thanks Hefty, The kids jumping in the water were some of my fav shots, I got some shots of them swinging from ropes and jumping into a lagoon, but haven't got to them yet

BTW I'm a little disappointed in how my pics look here They appear a little soft) but they were quite sharp before resizing and uploading too Photobucket.
I looked for a setting in PB but can't find anything. Am I doing something wrong : Cheers

I will post some more when I get the chance.
