Pics from Puerto Rico

Despite bad weather and very limited amount of time, I somehow managed to capture over 1000 images in Puerto Rico. It took me a while to go over everything and pick the images I like the most, so I now need to extract a few images and post them here 🙂

I took three lenses with me to Puerto Rico:

1) Nikon 24mm f/1.4G

2) Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G

3) Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II + 1.7x TC

I tried to use the 24mm f/1.4 the most in different lighting conditions and apertures. Despite what others are reporting about this lens, specifically its focusing issues, I have not seen a single image where the focus was incorrect. Whether I shot something up close or a distant object, all images came out tack sharp from center to corner, as reported in my Nikon 24mm f/1.4 Review. Not sure if there is a batch of bad 24mm lenses out there, but mine is working flawlessly and I did not notice any problems at all.

Here is the first picture I took at the El Conquistador resort in Puerto Rico:

And the last image of the resort on the day of departure:

20100505-Puerto-Rico-746-650x438
The above image is a panoramic image stitched with 4 vertical images. I did not have to correct any distortion issues before stitching the panorama and Photoshop did a pretty good job in aligning everything together. More to come!
