Needing photos of CSS to get us through

**Cape Cod Sue** · August 2nd, 2011, 11:14 AM

181 days to go and we find the wait easier when we gaze at our pictures of CSS. Each month we choose one for our office calendar, this month it's the water sports area with hobie cats in front and the beautiful Jamaican flag flying. Does anyone have a link to their pictures that we can gaze at? We need new ones to get us through the next 26 weeks! No one else we know has more fun anticipating their vacation. Can't wait but soon come. WE LOVE SANS SOUCI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I love to gaze at photos (mine or other people's) before I go away. It helps put me there. Then when I return I gaze again to help keep me there, you know?. I always have my trip photos as my desktop and/or screen saver at work and at home.

Mine are in here. I like to take lots of photos around the resort, particularly early in the morning, Hope you enjoy. Have a great trip

We have 222 days till we are at CSS. This is the last of the 4 resorts we have to see. So I would also love to see some pictures!

Liquid, your photos are AMAZING!!! How can I learn to take pics like that???? (Seriously, I have a Nikon D5000 and barely know how to make it work.)

MnK,Thanks for the kind word. You have a great camera. Just learn its capabilities and practice, practice, practice. There are lots of good books to help learn, and one I'd recommend is Bryan Peterson's Learn to See Creatively. Focus and exposure are fundamental, but even when you nail them, good composition makes the difference between a good snapshot and a great image. Oh, and always post some favorites and share them here on the board so we all can enjoy!

I've seen many pictures of CSS, bowlcoach, but found your pictures to be the most informative. We have reserved the beachfront suite and wondred what the bathroom and balcony were like. Thanks for sharing.

**ilorangiv** · August 8th, 2011, 10:21 PM

I'd post pictures, but my cameras were stolen from my room. Sorry.

**Arlene&Barry** · August 10th, 2011, 04:38 PM

Thank you all so much for sharing your photos!
We stayed at CTI this year and are planning CSS for January. You're incredible photos have us anxiously waiting for our journey to begin.

We have a few cameras, but mostly those photos around the resort were a Canon Rebel that's a couple years old now (but I still need to learn how to really use it). We also have an Olympus tough for the beach, and an older Sony with housing for diving. I know, crazy isn't it! LOL

I've enjoyed everyone else's photos too. Thanks for sharing. That's the best part about taking photos.... sharing!
