Sunset over the Gulf of Mexico from the deck of the M/V Explorer. We were about 60 miles due south of Key West. This was our last sunset and night at sea for the voyage. Too much haze so no green flash. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 320, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/250 sec).

Gone to See Central America and the Panama Canal. Semester at Sea Spring 2011 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Ultimate Travel Photography Workshop II with Michael Mariant. Day 19: At Sea.

Sunrise Aboard the MV Explorer. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 24 mm lens (ISO 200, 24 mm, f/16, 1/60 sec).  One thing we learned during the voyage (the hard way) was the need to take the camera and lens out on deck at least 30 minutes before taking any images to prevent fogging due to moisture condensing on the lens.

Solitary Small Island in the Gulf of Mexico off the Coast of Belize. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec). If you look close, there is a shelter. I’ve always wondered if someone lives there.
