My trip to Africa!!

Last December i had the chance to visit Africa with all my family. Made CCS-MAD-JNB-CPT-JNB-MAD-FCO-MAD-CCS. I wanted to share some pictures as i do enjoy Photography. These where taken with my former Nikon D50, now i am the proud owner of a D7000. Well i am just going to throw some away to see how it goes.

Yes, i have more shots people!!

Set up: Nikon D50 + Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC + Quantaray 67mm DMC-UV filter. I really enjoy the VC on this!!! WORKS!, a bit on the slow side, but i was happy with the results.

Some for the flyertalkers. I took some in hopes to upload my first trip report to airliners.net. But need a little incentive/push and time. Some in Caracas, Venezuela airport,others at T4S Madrid.

Some lounge pics. Velazquez lounge was almost empty, took a relaxing no hurry shower. Used all lounge facilities and was well taken care of. Shower facilities were well appointed but small. Because of having a 28-300mm... i couldn't get a wide shot.

Wonderful pictures. Brings back memories of our trip to Cape Town. Was the picture looking from the ocean from a boat or an island?
