All pictures where taken in Cuba during a trip with “Albatross” Travel Agency in January 2014. I used a Canon 70D and a FujiFilm X-1Pro camera with difference lenses. Some of the pictures where also corrected in Adobe Lightroom 5 and Color Efex Pro 4. Cuba is a Chritstmas-evening for photograhers, the light is always changing, the atomsphere is special and of course the Cuban people, the old American cars that never die, the old buildings, rum, tobacco, suger and the special history of this Island that Columbus discover in 1492. We didn`t see Fidel at this trip, but he was around us on posters,books and cigars and we could feel his presence. Thanks, Cuba we will come again some time.
