Ambar Green Hotel Entrance
This is another one of my vacation photos. I took it with the big camera so it has high quality. This is the hotel Ambar Green. You do not need to remember its looks because there is like 8 other hotels that look identical to this one. The place was built like a maze. All the buildings and lobbies look the same, with a few minor differences. If one is not careful, you can end up in someone else's room. This actually happened to a fellow that knocked in our door. A lot of people were looking lost throughout the...
Underwater Beneath the Waves
This is quite the little interesting photo I took while inside the pool. It was a cloudy day, and so it came out rather dark and the like. The thing I am wearing is my sunblock. The normal sunblock was not cutting it, so we decided to put on our winter clothing to swim in the pool. It worked pretty great. The one day I did not wear it, I got sunburned. The funny thing is that I got sunburned on a super cloudy day. So, now I take the sun really seriously. I like the water element a lot....
Random Trinkets from Punta Cana
Close to the end of the vacation, some of the locals were allowed to set up shop inside the hotel. Despite being a Caribbean country, all the goods there were worth an arm and a leg. Just a couple of trinkets were worth 110 bucks. This country uses the barter economy. You must be ready to bargain in order to get something that resembles a good deal. I bought a little Virgin Mary figurine made of stone. It looked completely different from everything else being sold there. My mother bought a cross made of red coral. The coral is an...
Inside the Pool
This is another one of my underwater photos. It has plenty of bubbles and the like. I am always interested in taking photos of underwater. Mostly, I am interested because I like to draw. Doing proper underwater effects is hard to manage. I prefer to draw from life in that department. As far as this medium is concerned, there is not a lot of online references for water. Most of the time, these water photos are fake. I think the reason for that is that very few people know how to swim. Most people with artsy tendencies have the bad...
Green Adoration in Cancun
Don't you hate it sometimes when you forget how to do something? This happened to me while I was staying at this hotel. I wanted to try the different color isolations, but I forgot how to do it. I spent like half a day fiddling with all the settings of the camera, till I got it right. This is the result of my experiment. I call it Green Adoration. Why I called it so? I don't know. It sounded catchy and a bit humoring. There is a lot of green around the goddess statue, so it seemed proper. The green...
