Down2Mars Posted March 16, 2010 #283 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Aplmac, I was sorting through old posts and came across - yet again, some more of your awesome pictures. I will be coming to Barbados in April for the day and decided to head out to paynes beach in the morning to trying and catch some turtles swimming (while the tours are out feeding) and then head over to Rockley beach. =) But where is Bathsheba? I have a basic map inside my 'Frommer's ports of call' travel book - but nothing says Bathsheba. Thanks for all your help =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a basic map inside my 'Frommer's ports of call' travel book - but nothing says Bathsheba. Bathsheba is over on the East Coast of the island. If Bathsheba isn't shown on Frommer's (substandard?) map, maybe Cattlewash or Tent Bay (-on either side of Bathsheba) might be shown? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
head2heel Posted March 18, 2010 #285 Share Posted March 18, 2010 ...definitely the most memorable part of our trip. Did the catamaran cruise with Silver Moon while on the 2/28 Carnival Victory sailing. Images taken with a Canon D10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 18, 2010 Author #286 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Quite amazing! Back when I was a thoroughly-amphibious creature (in another life) this would not have been possible! Turtles would come nowhere near humans. One look at you and they fled!! Happily, it's very different today now the turtle consciousness thing has turned things entirely around. They're now seen as a tourism resource: excellent example of mindset change from once being a meat source to be hunted to extinction --to a valuable tourism resource! .

Aplmac Posted March 23, 2010 Author #290 Share Posted March 23, 2010 ..is a species of VERVET monkey native to West Africa. Specimens were brought over from Africa, along with the slave trade three hundred years ago, and look virtually identical to the African vervets. This little guy in the Military Cemetery was so tame I walked within about six feet of him. He was happy with his seed-pod, and didn't seem threatened by me or the camera! This is the same Vervet sp. you'll see in St.Kitts -and maybe some of the other islands too. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybear Posted March 24, 2010 #292 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hello, we will be in Barbados on Easter Sunday and would like to do a brief tour of the island and spend time at the beach. Does anyone know if there will be taxis available that day? Would Accra be too crowded? Any suggestions would be appreciated. ] Thanks,B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjispice Posted March 25, 2010 #294 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Here are a couple of mine...I have lots of turtles but their pixels are MASSIVE and I don't have time to upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 25, 2010 Author #295 Share Posted March 25, 2010 ...I have lots of turtles but their pixels are MASSIVE and I don't have time to upload them. Their pixels are massive because, I suspect, the Image Size setting in your camera's Menuremains at the manufacturer's default setting which comes to us all at the largest possible setting -something akin to MURAL size. :eek: Do you and I really need mural-sized photos? Not usually! Are you making hi-quality 16 x 20 prints? No? Dig around in the cam's Menu until you get to Image Size. Bring it down several notches: you'll often find that the smallest or near-smallest is quite adequate for most people's needs! ;) And while you're in the Menu, you should find Image Quality right next to Image Size. You'll probably find that set at default setting Normal (not great) Jack up Image Quality to Superfine while you're there. With settings like I've suggested suddenly now your SD or other storage cards will hold many many more shots -and you won't be taking mural-sized photos any more! :) .

I hope the help other people! However, in this case, our digi-cam pics are just fine. With our underwater pics though, we bought a disposible camera. We took them to Costo to develop, and also got a CD so we had them digitally as well. But Costco burned them onto the CD at these outrageously enormous sizes... It's INSANE. We want to make them smaller, but it takes several minutes just to OPEN one of the pics, we're just putting it on the back burner for now. Ugh.

You can also easily resize in many photo editing programs (many free or come with your computer). 600 to 800 px on the long side should be sufficient.

Aplmac Posted March 26, 2010 Author #298 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The gold flowers are locally know as "Cloth of Gold" It's a vine often found growing on the remains of the island's many old sugar-mill walls Not sure what the name of the purple flower is but as small boys we used to twirl the individual flowers between thumb and forefinger to make them spin like helicopter rotors! .
