Madeira in Black and White

Nikkor 35mm 1.8 D7000, Madeira




The shots below are from one of the original and still running rum distilleries on the island. It is a white rum made from the sugar cane also grown on Madeira. The rum is typically mixed with honey and lemon juice to make the local drink Poncha (which is very tasty!)








Panoramas of Madeira

Here are some panoramas from my recent trip to Madeira, a really nice island off the Moroccan coast.

These were stitched in PS and taken with a 35mm 1.8 on a D7000 (lens distortion removed before stitching in Lightroom).

These are quite narrow due to taking them Landscape at the time (they needed to be taken pretty quickly as it was windy up the peaks so not too much time to think. Hope you like them anyway!

I bought Lightroom 4 on the way back from the trip, just waiting for the postal delivery (got it retail, cheap on amazon at the moment). I'll give it a full test and review as soon as I get it. I've been using lightroom since 1.4 and have enjoyed using it since, I'll be testing the other shots taken in Madeira with it.
