Rob > Taken while standing in the queue to board this ship.  

The foreground light on the rocks is coming from fluorescents overhead hanging from a covered walkway that isn't in the shot.  The ship illumination is from the parking lot lights behind me.  And the sunset...well, I think we all know where that comes from.

This is one of my favorites from this trip.

Location: Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela

Lens used: 10-22mm f3.5-4.5
Rob > Possessing probably the coolest beach I've ever seen, Canaima is a great little village/town.  Most people I met seemed to feel the same way, which was somewhat surprising given that the town's raison d'ĂȘtre is tourism - Canaima is the base for visiting the nearby Angel Falls.

Though the three palms growing just off the beach with the powerful waterfalls as backdrop have graced many a photograph and guidebook, I thought my take on it kinda interesting - these guys were kicking around a football as a heavy rain storm passed overhead.  The rain had just eased and I had just emerged from the protection of a covered awning, when I saw this guy running and jumping for the ball.

Location: Canaima, Venezuela

Lens used: 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Rob > This was sunrise as seen from the small river beach in front of where we slept near the base of Angel Falls.

I like the layered aspect of this shot, especially with the silhouetted jungle in the foreground - it makes it look like I was being intrepid.

Rob > The city's main cathedral had just undergone a complete renovation and looked great.  However, as is normal for me and churches, I never did go inside.

Location: Cuidad Bolivar, Venezuela

Lens used: 10-22mm f3.5-4.5
Rob > Men sort out live Blue Crabs caught and hauled in from Maracaibo lake.

Location: Concha, Venezuela

Lens used: 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS
Rob > These French kids helped me load up (and carry!) the bucket of baby Leatherback turtles we found hatching on the beach back to the turtle center.

Location: Grande Riviere, Trinidad

Lens used: 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Rob > A Wauro Indian girl sells mangos from a makeshift dock along a side channel of the river.

Location: Orinoco River Delta, Venezuela

Lens used: 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS
Rob > Angel Falls as "seen" from the air.  

I put quotes around that word because I didn't actually get to see this as I shot it - it was on the other side of the aircraft from me.  I held my camera across the little Cessna over the pilot's shoulder and blind-fired about four shots.  Amazingly, not only did I get the falls in the shot, the composition wasn't too bad!

If you can't be good, you might as well be lucky...

Rob > By using a narrow aperture, I was able to slow down the shutter enough to blur the passing car.  I thought that made for a nice foreground for the Hugo Chavez political banner behind.
