Hi Guys! I wanted to do one more quick post to wrap this incredible year of traveling up. When I first thought about starting a blog, I really wanted to create a place that I could share my adventures with anyone who would be interested. I myself read a lot of different blogs and one thing I've really come to appreciate are the pictures that writers chose to help them tell their stories. With that in mind, I wanted to work on my own personal page and make sure that the photos I put up were photos that I would enjoy looking at as well. I had never been seriously into photography or anything like that, but I wanted to invest in a camera before I left so that I could capture all that I wanted to. I reached out to one of my favorite bloggers Christine Skari, who runs apple-of-my-eye.com, and asked if she had any advice on user friendly cameras. She is a fourth year at the same university as me and is such a sweetheart and gave me a few suggestions. I ended up buying a Nikon COOLPIX P530 on amazon and I'm really happy with the choice I made. It was so easy to use, whether I was hiking in the mountains of Spain or feasting on market food in Thailand. I wanted to just quickly share one of the last pictures I took while abroad that also happens to be my favorite. I took this one at low light during our last walk around the Alhambra. The shooting mode was actually on User settings mode, which I haven't changed since I received the camera due to the quality of pictures it gives me. My favorite thing about this picture is the sense of depth it gives you. On the left hand side you can see the edge of the Alhambra, and on the right you can see the Sacromonte (oldest neighborhood in Granada), as well as the sunset over the mountains in the back. Granada was so beautiful that it was easy to snap good photos wherever I was, but I truly appreciate the beauty of this specific place and what it will always mean to me. I actually was just introduced to a new compact camera from this company called Light, that allows you to edit pictures right on your camera to affect the depth of field. This photo was submitted for their #VantagePoint project.
