where is this at?

CortezBlue - 11-30-2012 at 02:12 PM

I guess that would help, duh


It is in Cabo just across the road from Home Depot.

If you are heading east on the frontage road, it is just after the Cabo Bello entrance. It is easy to miss, but what a great resort. We used our time share there. They have a full kitchen, including dishwasher and Washer and dryer in the room.

68 units and they all face the ocean. If you do stay, request a room on the far left side of the "original" building, not the new building.
Already planing our next trip

PS I forgot, gas grills down by the pools. Bought great steaks at Cosco and had 2 incredible meals that we made.

nice that you can use your time share,, what would the cost be for some one that does not have a time share,

Be sure to go down to the Cabo Bello beach. I think there is a spiral staircase you can use. If you are part billy goat you can walk around the rock of Misiones Condos (where I live) for some great photos of the drinking dragon...el arco.

Last night there where some really nice fireworks...did you see those?

Enjoy!

Didn't know they also had one in Cabo and now I know that the also have one in Palm Springs and in Branson, MO.

I'm not sure, but I am sure if you looked on Kayak or Orbitz you should be able to find the price. We had a Premiere room.

Nice shot..I'd hang that on the wall !!!

I have exif data in the image, and you may see it being used by the hotel, soon. I do have it setup for my wifes screen saver on her mac.

It is a HDR image and looks very cool in sub native resolution. The RAW image, being shot with 36mp's is somthing like 20 x 13. I don't have this for sale, yet. I am putting together a series of Mexico HDR images that I will be selling on line. There will be a dozen of images that you can use to rotate through like a slide show, or just use a single image at a time.

If you are interested in this project, please u2u me with your email and I will update you as soon as I am getting close

hell ya!!

Cortez,

At a 30 sec exposure, what HDR process are you using?

Nice shot.

On the Nikon D800, and I think many of the newer Nikon DSLR's, there is an HDR setting. It actually takes 2 images together and then processes them in the camera. I have Nik's HDR processing software and that is how I have done most of my HDR stuff, but this was during a trip to Cabo and I had time to monkey around, while have a Marg or 2 and I have to say that I like the much more natural looks of the processing. Most HDR photos, I don't like. They look very over processed. I relate them to looking like Peter Jackson from Lord of the Rings fame, did them, more of a fantasy then reality.

I did a B/W rock HDR also that I will post.

Title: Love on the Rocks

I take it back, I thought it was done it in B/W, but it is just one of those shots that looks that way. This was the view from our patio above the rocks
