Cayos Cachinos

I am lucky to get to go fairly often to a little group of islands in between Roatan and the mainland called Cayos Cachinos. Some of the area and people...

I really love the first pic! You had a polarized filter didn't you? Great feeling of depth there! Kinda feel like I could fall through my monitor.

I use an 81a filter almost always. I think on that picture all I would have done is do an auto color and maybe lower the curves a little in photoshop to give it some richness.
The 81a filter though is just a "warming" filter.

Is that kid on the left throwing gang signs? Great pictures!

I am not sure....if so, the gangs there are pretty small for sure. They love the camera though. Their favorite part is seeing themselves after you take the pictures.

Great shots beautybelow.

It's interesting a lot of the people in those islands and some of the islands off the coast of Panama can trace their roots back to the Caribbean.

Actually, the people on these islands are mostly Garifuna. They are decendants of the Carib Indians and escaped or shipwrecked African Slaves. A lot of African culture still lives in their communities.
