Concrete Bowl Paint Techniques - Simple step by step techniques to finish your concrete bowls with a bit of acrylic paint
Possibly a very cliche shot, but I just couldn't resist taking a picture of these pots on the staircase. The contrasting colors was way too much to let go of :) I'd travelled to Mauritius on vacation, and left my regular gear at home, carrying only the G12, thinking I'd be able to make do with it - one of the biggest mistakes I'd ever made. There is only so much you can do with a point and shoot camera, no matter how good it is. The camera *is* worth the money you pay for and the IQ is excellent, but then, it's not a replacement for someone who knows how to use a dSLR. :( So here you go for a while - a bunch of photographs show with a point and shoot camera, at one of the most beautiful places in the world. :) Lesson learnt - Never leave home for a lovely destination without the gear that you're comfortable with.
