Surfing in Hikkaduwa Sri Lanka

I took this photo with my Canon Powershot SX40HS DSLR. This camera has a fixed lens superzoom, so it’s great for zooming in on distant objects without the need to change lens. All I did, after I spotted this guy surfing and doing a pretty good job, was to point, zoom in, and shoot. The only alteration I did was to use Windows 10 inbuilt photo viewer to enhance it a little.

Travelocity: Taking Christmas To A Whole New Level

Thank you to Erin from Explore with Erin for including me in her Travelocity article about Christmas at a whole new level!

 

Europe Cruise

Lisa from We Said Go Travel regals me with her tales of Christmas Markets across Europe.

“I went to my very first European Christmas markets and tasted my first Gluhwein. I highly recommend the Budapest Christmas market as well as the Central market of Pest. On our morning Vienna bus tour, we saw the sights of the city and a few of the sixteen Christmas markets. We walked around the historic city, St. Stephen’s Church and explored the largest Christmas market.”

Stayed: “I sailed on the Danube River to see dozens of Christmas markets with Viking Cruises. My home for the voyage was the Viking Atla from Budapest to Nurenberg. I absolutely loved that the floors of the bathroom were heated! It felt amazing on chilly mornings!”

Favorite Activity: “My favorite thing on the ship was learning to make Apple Strudel and then getting to taste it warm with vanilla ice cream. One day, we went to an incredible gingerbread shop. There were so many holiday tastes and so many ornaments to buy! I loved sailing during the holidays.”

Enjoy the videos from my travels on the Romantic Danube with Viking Cruises:

 

6 Destinations Taking Christmas To A Whole New Level

by Erin Holmes, Gnational Gnomad

Christmas is coming! Which means now is your chance to escape the winter or embrace the snow. If you’re ready to leave behind Christmas in the burbs this year and head out somewhere really special, Erin Holmes of  Explore With Erin  has you covered. Having celebrated Christmases all over the world, here are her picks for the best Christmas destinations.

I love Christmas. I love presents and family and friends and all the food. But sometimes Christmas can be overwhelming. Sometimes there is just so much to do and so much to plan that somewhere along the way Christmas lost a little bit of its magic.

So one year the kids and I up and left. We jumped on board a Christmas cruise and spent Christmas day in the middle of the ocean in the South Pacific somewhere. It was magical.

Asik-asik Falls, Philippines

I used Nikon D7000 with Tokina 12-24mm lens to capture this. I enhanced the sharpness, exposure and contrast a bit using ViewNX.

Kala Patthar 5,643m Nepal

I was sad I had just lost my expensive canon gears in Canada before this trip. So, I had to use my cell phone Samsung 8 to take this shot. No filters are added to this image.

The Dead Island in the Dead Ocean Bolivia

Lady in the Water in India

This is a photo of my girlfriend taken in Gokarna, India.

It was taken under water using a GoPro 3. As far as image correction goes, I’ve only added a “noir” filter to it as opposed to the original color photo.

Why do I like this photo? I consider this one of my best photos because it was such a spontaneous shot and everything turned out to be so wonderful. No fancy equipments or image corrections. Just a plain old black and white filter to do the trick. It’s also stuck to the style of my photographs, especially the ones that feature my girlfriend. I’ve always maintained a composition style that never/barely shows her face. I’ve always wanted her to be this enigmatic character in my Instagram profile. And most people always tell me, “we’ve seen so many photos with her in it, but we’ve never seen her face”. So that’s a nice feeling that somebody’s is curious to know how she looks but I’ve always been a tease of sort.

Moreover, this girl has been my biggest inspiration to wander more and explore the world. We’ve had many adventures together and I hope we have many more of such.

I’m not a professional photographer. All the photos I take either from my phone or from my girlfriends GoPro.
