I was going through some of my files on my external hard drives and came across a whole folder of unedited photo’s of 2010/2011.
We went to St Helena Bay in December 2010 where we visited with my parents in law. That weekend Armand fell himself into hospital on the first day we got there. He got 6 stitches in his knee…
All of these photo’s were taken with my Canon 500D and till today I love this camera.
I am very happy to share the following news with you!!!
I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED EDITING OUR 2010 SOCCER WORLD CUP TOUR PHOTO’S!!!
It took me a good three years to finish talking about taking once time… I took the photo’s on our tour with my Canon EOS 500D with my Canon EFs 18-200mm IS lens.
Now I want to share these long waited photo’s and stories with you so for the next few weeks I’ll write a blog here and there and post some photo’s from our journey. I would really like to give you a little bit of background of the towns we passed through and also the places we visited on our tour. This will keep me busy quite a while we visited allot of places and had a very busy month. We left home on 9 June 2010 and returned home 10 July 2010.
The boys are still talking about this holiday so at least I know they did enjoyed it.

I took the following photo’s on our road trip in June/July 2010. My parents, the boys and I hit the road for 5 weeks while my hubby was working. We called our tour the World Cup Tour. Everybody went from province to province to follow the soccer games. We went from province to province to do some sight seeing and visiting dear friends….
Every time we went to our next destination we woke up before dawn and hit the road. We saw the sun coming up in allot of different places and each time it was spectacular….
I took these photo’s with my Canon 500D and back then I did not shoot RAW but JPG. Since then I’ve converted and only shoot in RAW.
I still have a lot more photo’s on Dawn that I took on other vacations with my family… Will share all these photo’s in the future as soon as everything is edited. This girl can’t stop when I start pushing that shutter button there are no end only if all my memory cards are filled up for the day….. Looking forward in sharing my travels with you…
