Here are a few photos from back in 2007 taken on a trip to Grand Cayman with my Canon Rebel XTi:

Beautiful pictures - I really like the ones where you've managed to catch the warm yellow/orange colours of the sunset. Thanks for sharing them with us.
@avarice thank you very much! Yeah, I love sunsets but they can be tricky and these were taken before I really knew much about photography. Golden hour ftw though :-D
Great photos! Do you have suggestions on what to do/ where to eat in Grand Cayman? I would love to hear more about this beautiful destination :)
Hi @maryturqoise I haven't been there in many years but I'd say a lot of that depends on budget. In terms of what to do you can just go to a public beach and snorkel, which is amazing in itself or at least was prior to all the hurricanes. I know they did a lot of damage back 15 years or so now. 7 Mile Beach is just so busy now when the cruise ships come in they're over flowing with people so I'd recommend if possible either trying to find an Air BnB so you'd be more off the main tourism areas and then ask a local for a good swim spot. My Uncle owns a place down there (http://www.jeffsresorts.com/) that is within walking distance from a nice less populated beach. In terms of food, in the past I know we'd buy groceries and barbecue for the most part to save money. I'd definitely recommend scuba diving as there are all sorts of wrecks around the island that are within 30-50 feet deep of water. There are all sorts of other options again depending on budget, parasailing, swimming with the dolphins, submarine tours, etc. and with food I'd say you could probably just yelp a type of food you'd want to eat and read some reviews to find what suits your tastes now a days. Again I'd try and read for places off the main over-touristy area. Hope that helps, sorry I couldn't explain in more detail. I grew up there when I was a kid and have only been back there on two different occasions where I was with family who knew where/what to do so I just went with the flow and let them guide our daily endeavors.
Pretty cool photos!! Up! I must be tired cause I read "Grand Canyon" and thought, what?? but it is "Grand Cayman"! Ahah.
Keep those photos coming :)
I'll post some newer ones with the Nikon soon. Is it normal here to post like photo journal day trips and should we resize them down or can we use full quality? I'm still new so not sure any advice there is welcome. I read 800x400 on one post so that's what I've been doing.
I'll be looking for it!
Yes, you can post photo journal day trips, like this post. I think you can also use a single photo, but must add a cool story or thought!
Well, I don't know about photo sizes here, lately I just drag them from the folder of my PC to the post. I don't resize them as I used to do months ago. The only 'inconvenient'of this is that it's not possible to open the photos in larger sizes, but sincerely I never use that feature.
Good to know. Thanks for the heads up.
Welcome!! :)
