Stunning Photography
Whatever settings (which i don't frankly understand) you made, those are truly lovely photos. The images are so picture-perfect that I tend to agree you should consider making money out of them by selling them to the country's tourism board. Or maybe enter into some photo competition.

There are a few presets on this Canon and I've also made some custom shooting modes but I don't use them I just keep it on standard. My old Fuji had a vivid colour setting which I always kept on as it really made the colours pop. I don't like the colours so much with this camera/lens set up (too washed out IMO) so I boost them with post processing. Sometimes I leave them a little oversaturated, just to highlight certain colours! :)

Fantastic photos. I too have been to all the Baltic capitals and I preferred Riga, though Tallinn did come a close second.

Oh my god, that's some of the most amazing photography I've ever seen! Your story is sparse, but I could gaze at those images on my walls all day. I suggest you try to sell those! The Riga tourism board might certainly bite!

Love looking at your photos! Just a question on this one; do you use a colour enhancing setting when you take your photographs (such as vivid on Nikon) as the vibrancy on some of your photos is superb. Thanks

The clouds were there but it wasn't so dark. It's a HDR image, processed with Photomatix. I'm not normally a fan of unrealistic HDR photos, but this has a painting effect I really liked, so I kept it. :)

your boys
Oh, what cuties. Can't wait to read about how they cope with the overnight bus. I traveled once with a 2 and 5 yr old and promised myself i won't do it again. ;-) but it's both hard work and fun with them, right? and hey, stunning photography, i must say!

So... It's been six years since we got back from our big family travels. A lot can happen in six years and the kids are growing at a pace that's completely overwhelming. We have 'settled' back into life in the UK, which for all its problems is an amazing country and we love it here. We've got back on track with our careers and the kids are progressing well with their schooling. As for travel, thankfully we still haven't stopped. Over the last few years we've been to a few more places in Europe, spent many weeks in Thailand and Malaysia, celebrated our 10 yea... full info
