Today’s travel photographer is able to capture with stunning clarity photographs that photographers even a decade ago never dreamed of.

A decade ago, a photographer would have likely shot this scene with a flash which would have destroyed some of the color and thus character of the moment.

However, with today’s high speed DSLRs, you can easily capture a scene such as this, retain the true color of the moment, and remarkably, freeze the scene in very, very low light.

We are currently aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, a luxury cruise liner positioned in the Society Islands of French Polynesia.

As is customary for a luxury cruise liner, we enjoy beautiful entertainment as a part of our cruise package with the Paul Gauguin Cruise Line.

Last night we enjoyed “Maeva Polynesia”, songs and dances from ancient Tahiti. For 45 minutes we were captivated by the color, the rhythmic drums, and of course the beautiful “Gauguins” as they expertly brought these ancient dances to life.
