We just returned from a week of family holidays in Greece. Yes, it was an all-inclusive resort, but with 4 adults vs. 4 kids, relaxation wasn’t exactly on the itinerary. Between endless rounds of sunscreen application, meal times, naps, and the occasional “educational disagreements,” we barely squeezed in a few ping pong games and massages.
That said, Zoe and Chiara had an absolute blast, and for the rest of us? Well, at least we got to enjoy the sun!
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm left, EF 70-200mm right – f/4, ISO 100 – Our resort was club-med style without the French touch. Quite massive an built up a cliff, it had a nice pool with view of the sea. Both sea and swimming pool were cold according to Chiara standards (i.e. she didn’t want to go first time).
With our Rwanda trip just days away, we’ve sold our 5D Mark II and dusted off our trusty old 20D paired with a 50mm lens. After a bit of sensor cleaning, it’s ready for action. Despite being nearly a decade old, it’s still a joy to use—though its age definitely shows when it comes to usability!
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm – f/3.5, ISO 200 – Beach attitude, pin-ups on the first plan, mothers and babies in the back – father outside the frame drinking cocktails …
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm – f/3.2, ISO 100 – Left Chiara smiling wrapped up in her ghost-towel, later in the afternoon, our usual time at the beach. Right view of the main bar/swimming pool of the resort (the one we could never get to as they had a no-children policy).
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm – f/3.2, ISO 100 – Heavily modified picture of Sab and Olivier on the beach. The sun was coming from behind left so I had re-opened shadows at a maximum to see the faces (Olivier would typically blink facing the sun so it’s easier to get him eyes opened like this).
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm – f/3.5, ISO 400 – Chiara doing a cuddle to “her baby” during a quiet time just after nap time in the middle of the afternoon.
Canon EOS 20D – EF 50mm – f/3.2, ISO 100 – Left Olivier smiling at her mother, apparently very happy with his cap. Right, the two girls playing sand-burying, and crocodile feet attack on the last day of the holidays.
