This picture of the Anthem Of The Seas was made from under my moringa tree in the side yard, 108-feet ASL up on the hillside, overlooking Port Zante and the Caribbean Sea. This could be just shy of a mile from Port Zante, as the crow flies. Today I am walking about with a Canon EOS-70D equipped with an ef-s 18-200mm IS lens.  You might find it interesting to know what  http://www.dxomark.com revealed about this lens and all the other lenses and cameras that they tested over the years. Please keep in mind that Information is only beneficial when it is used intelligently. Please be 'guided' accordingly. We have reached the end of 01/2016, month one in 2016, rather quickly it seems. How are you doing with your new year resolutions, plans, or whatever you call them? In particular, those that pertain to any aspects of photography and imaging? I expect that some of us are in the hold position, because that is what plenty of us like to do, and then we are forced to carry over ...

Many 'things' received their head recently. skn is finally in election mode. The 6th and 16th are expected to be historic days. All days are historic as long as you can talk about it.

Peace has finally been restored to our land of beauty, as we take a break before moving on to the next level.. We always had 'traditional' peace here, but it seems to me that for the last couple years some people tried to implement their brand of peace, probably in order to create a new skn environment. All that is now history, and skn goes into yet another history generating phase. I am of the view that EVERYTHING that has taken place, is taking place and will take place in our twin island Federation will impact our Caribbean and the world at large in ways we cannot begin to comprehend or imagine. This is not the first time nor will it be the last. 50,000 thousand people, 100 square miles, year 2015, 2020, 2025. 8-4-9-5.  I am getting to like the EOS-70D camera, being lighter than the EOS-7D, but whenever I feel a spray and see rain I have to scramble for a plastic bag. It is not water proof like the EOS-7D. I will get around to movies if and when it becomes necessary...
