Bahamas

The Bahamas were even more beautiful than I imagined. Boat rides from Paradise Island let us discover lighthouses and spectacular sunsets. I became enamored with photographing the clouds at sunset. They looked like delicate paintings. While we were there we also saw the 4th of July fireworks and a full moon (I wished I had my tripod!). Not only was I able to photograph the lovely scenery from land and sea, but I tried out my new camera, the Nikon Coolpix AW100. What a fun little camera for underwater shots! This is the first digital underwater camera I have ever used, and it was much more versatile and produced higher quality images than those disposable cameras. While the image quality cannot compare to a DSLR, it was a blast to explore the water in a new way!
