Antiguan Blue - Dickinson Bay, Antigua and Barbuda
a6300, 16-70mm @ 70mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 8s

Just back from a vacation in the West Indies (Caribbean) island of Antigua.  While this was not a photo trip, I did take about 500 shots with my Sony a6300.  Here is one that I conceived while eating lunch at oceanside seeing the bright blue Caribbean Sea and the afternoon cumulus clouds popping up.  So I found a high vantage point, screwed on a 10 stop ND to smooth the water and a CPL to saturate the colors (no post processing saturation or color alteration on this shot), and rested the camera on a ledge and took the shot with a self timer...  (Please click on the photo to it without compression artifacts and against a darker background)

Very zen. And the heart shape in the cloud above seems to agree. I doubt you would capture a better feel with any other camera. Lots of peace here.
