Taormina Italy

Taromina has some spectacular scenery, and relaxing beaches. What a great vacation spot! Pics were taken with a D5000 using the standard kit lens (18-55mm) w/ a circular polarizer or a 10-24mm wide angle.

Looks like you are having fun with your new camera. Composition, exposure, and color look especially nice!

The picture of the jellyfish is amazing. It looks like it is standing on dry land.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Actually, my wife took that one - she went out in the water with the camera, got down low, and snapped several pics. The circular polarizer may have helped a little with capturing the color. Sun was directly overhead.

Thanks for the info. She got a really unique shot

can you give more info on the polarizer....size,brand,cost. The polarizer was used for all the pictures i am guessing.

It's a Nikon 52mm circular polarizer. I think it was about $100. The first, second, and last definitely don't have it on (wide angle lens).
