We went for a week holiday in Los Cabos Mexico. It was beautiful, and the temperatures were perfect! The resort we stayed at was on the Pacific Ocean and the currents and undertow’s were much too strong to swim in the water. No matter, it was still beautiful!
I lugged my tripod and D300 with the 18-200 lens along with me. I went wanting to take pictures of the surf but didn’t want to take my good camera along for fear of something happening to it. D300 takes decent pictures anyway and the 18-200 is a great travel lens.
About 1.5 miles down the beach from our resort there was a rocky outcropping. I wanted to take sunset pictures there to add some foreground elements to the shots. I didn’t really like any of the sunset but I did like this one of the waves crashing on the shore. I set the camera on the tripod and slowed the shutter to 1/8 sec.
We got up early one morning to go out on a whale photo safari. By early I mean 8 a.m. It was well worth it because the light was perfect and we saw alot of whales!
I loved the rainbow coming from these ones as they blew.
Humpback whales
They were so close you felt you could almost reach out and touch them. Those in the front of the boat probably could have.
I had the 18-200 lens zoomed to 100. That’s how close these guys were! In fact I didn’t get all of this guys tail in because I didn’t zoom out fast enough.
This is a shot of the famous Land End Arch on the tip of Cabo.
And a pelican racing us back to the marina.
