Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


Album Cover These are some of the shots taken on my trip to Rio during the MVP Summit.

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, but I did manage to find a day in there to get some beach pictures, a visit to Corcovado where they have the towering Christ statue overlooking the city, and a cable car ride up to Sugar Loaf mountain which offers some spectacular views of the city and its beaches.

My Photo Gear

Camera and Lenses

Mostly Canon stuff... specifically I use the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, along with a zoom lens, the Canon 75-300mm IS USM and a wider lens, the Canon 17-85mm IS USM as well as a few filters such as a circular polarizer and a tripod.

Software

Adobe Lightroom 2 for RAW image processing.
