The Landscape Mode icon on your camera looks like a mountain. When you use this mode, you are telling your camera that you’re photographing a large area of scenery and want everything in focus. Internally, the camera sets the f-stop to allow less light to come through the lens but bringing the entire scope into … Continue reading "Landscapes Gone Vertical"

Pleasure Island’s Kiss Goodbye: Act One

Posted on by Lisa Berton
I remember reading all about Pleasure Island when I was planning a trip with friends in 1995. It all sounded so exciting with its various themed clubs but we never made it there and I was sorely disappointed.
