Tool Used:  Canon Rebel T1i EOS 500D / settings used: program, auto, manual (sunsets, dolphins), and for the bird dives- sports setting

I took my new camera on vacation with me and it became an extension of my life.  I had so much fun practicing for the perfect shot.  Out of thousands of photos, below are a few of my favs, some of which I turned in for extra credit in my photography class.

This extra credit put me up to 100 percent before my final, so I ended up with an A in this class.

PS – I am making a note about the bird diving into the water and the grouping of birds.  After much research, I do believe those are Royal Terns.  They were fascinating to watch and I have some wonderful sequences of them diving into the water and re-emerging.
