Haha, good guesses Dlish.
Musee D'Orsay - from a bateau mouche on the Seine
*Taken at dusk from a moving boat. Although a bit off focus, there is still a nice water
quality to the pic. I like the lighting to this composition, both natural light from sunset
and the lights.
Falucca on the Nile
*One of my favorites. The composition; wate,r falucca and sunset all line up nicely. I
think the camera catches the details nicely too. Especially the ripples.
Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem
*I chose this because I figured it was Middle East and you travel in that region a bit.
Plus the gold really comes out nicely.
The Louvre, Paris, France
*I chose this pic to show how the camera captures movement of the water fountain.
Notice the elaborate details of the museum in the background.
Abu Simbel, Egypt, near the Sudan
*Same idea of the Middle East. Hot, bright, dusty. When I took this pic, there were
hundreds of people swarming the base. With a little patience, I was able to capture
the pic as if there was no one there. Petra would be another great subject with similar
lighting and color tone.
I tried to pick photos that would resemble your likely experiences. Remember, I'm using a CANON SD 550 Elph series. The one I'm recommending is the CANON 1100 Elph series. There have been amazing improvements since my pics. Click on the links in my previous post D and look at the specs and reviews. I really think this would be a good camera for you.
Take care and good luck!
