Anna, getting her shoes all wet in the Mediterranean, and Bettan; one half of the couple we visited in Spain. (Eventually, there will be shots from other places as well, I promise. Just having a hard time getting myself to import everything.)

In the foreground, you see the lighthouse in Puerto Bañus in Marbella, Spain. The chunk of land on the far right is Gibraltar and the larger chunk in the background is, well, Africa. Morocco, to be precise.

Black and white conversion done in Lightroom, colourized (using solid colour layers in overlay mode) in Photoshop, using quite possibly the most intricate layer mask I've ever done. My eyes are sore now.

Literally across the street from the restaurant where I had the gambas in the previous shot, these apartment blocks tower over the beach and the Mediterranean.

One of the delicious lunches I had during our short holiday on the Costa del Sol earlier this year, gambas in a garlic oil with lots of parsley. Yummy.

Using steps 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 from Scott Kelby's 7-point system for this one. What do you say? Did it come out too saturated or is it still OK? Not 100% sure.
