DD's Photographs From Her Foreign Study Trip to Ecuador

[Red Baron]

DD is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin and just got back from her 17 day foreign studies trip to Ecuador and brought back a -ton- of great photos. She was in the Amazon Rain Forest and the Galapagos Islands. She had a great trip despite much concern about the volcano that had already erupted before she left.

I used to dabble in photography a bit and I am -very- proud to see that DD has her father's eye. She has a Nikon D60 digital SLR with some interchangeable lenses.

Here is a small sample of her work. I'll move this thread to Artistic License in a day or so.

Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing DD's experience. Pictures are beautiful! I think I would feel just fine living in the Hut that is pictured. All seems so clean and cozy.

One of my DD's is scheduled for a trip like this with Her College Mates to Spain next summer.

I sure hope all the turmoil is settled in Spain before She leaves.
Blessing's,

Congratulations on a safe and beautiful trip.

BTW, here is a picture of DD I took with her D60 for her high school yearbook picture.

Needless to say, we are very proud parents and yes I carry a .45 auto and a very large stick when the boys are around. DW has a .357 snub ready to go to if one of DD's BFs get out of line. The boys know it, and respect that.

She is a looker, gets it from her parents I suppose.

Your DD is a skilled photographer. Both in understanding how to do a B&W shot, framing, and good use of color. Not many people her age have gotten to go to the Galapagos! And a lovely young lady to boot. What a beautiful country. I'm sure she had the time of her life!
