Taken on vacation trips
A holiday snapshot taken during dinner at Nando’s at the London Wembley Designer’s Outlet… I bought a Canon Powershot G7X Mark II at a discount by trading in an old camera that my toddler broke as a toy. As a “serious” compact, the camera came in useful when I did not feel like lugging my heavy gear along to dinner. The image quality is certainly a lot better than if I had just relied on my iPhone alone.
Another shot of the powerful waves at Sennen Cove in Cornwall, UK, taken on my trip there last month. The title of the shot (an intended pun) would be familiar for my colleagues in my field of work 😉
When we arrived, the windy conditions at St Ives, Cornwall made photography tricky. I had to be wary of the sand particles being blown into my camera while changing lenses. At the same time, the strong winds of up to 55 miles per hour made standing and even hand-holding the camera a definite challenge. The surfers that we encountered on the beach had a fun time on the other hand, enjoying the strong waves brought about by the extremely blustery conditions.
