Starting our Cruise

Lynette & I have started our cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas ship. This is one massive boat! We checked in to our Jr. Suite #9348. Below are a couple photos of the room. We are really happy with the room and the size, which is about the same as a decent hotel room, except designed better. We even have a small walk-in closet with lots of shelves.

I’ll post a few more photos as I can.

Sedona – Day 2

We got up bright and early today to do a drive on the Schnebly Hill Road. This is a pretty tough road to navigate for passenger cars and we were grateful to have a 4-wheel drive SUV rental. The first stop made was at the Vista — the road was gated off beyond that point. Below is an HDR image taken from the Vista looking down to the Cow Pies butte and beyond.

Sedona – Day 1

Sedona, AZ has some of the most incredible views I’ve seen. The red rock really is amazing and the varying sun angles make the rocks look very different. This first view can be seen on Google Maps and was taken at 1/250 sec exposure at f8 on March 16, 2009. The focal length was 105 mm at ISO 200.

Phoenix Zoo

Sunday morning we went to the Phoenix Zoo. The image below is a flamingo taking a rest! I used the Nikon D300 with the fantastic Nikkor 70-200 VR. In case you’re a photo geek, I shoot in RAW and the exposure was 1/500 second at f/11. The “near” exact location can be seen in Google Maps. The geo-coding is thanks to the fantastic diGPS . Let me know what you think.
