We missed this amenity the first time we made the trek to Harbour Island: Eleuthera! (Believe it or not, some people think Eleuthera is Harbour Island.) Of course, we knew Eleuthera existed given you typically fly into North Eleuthera if you want to get to "Briland." Eleuthera had been dismissed because we thought Governors Harbour and Club Med beach was the hot set there. Driving to those

I'm starting to look through my catalog of photos from Harbour Island for those special shots suitable for greeting cards, note cards and postcards. This was my first choice for a folded greeting card because it's a photo of where things start on Harbour Island -- at the Government boat dock in Dunmore Town. You can see the familiar blue and yellow striped Bahamas Ferries boat at the dock. In the

I recently mentioned photographer John Gynell on my Eleuthera blog as one of my favorite photographers for the Bahamas. If you have the time, check out his Fine Bahamian Landscapes gallery. It's also a good place to bone up on some of the photogenic features the Exumas has to offer.For you lucky dogs headed to or on Harbour Island this November, you can check out John's work at Princess Street

Got a G blog alert for a hit on Harbour Island. Always nice to see a good blog entry behind the linkage; especially when it sports some nice pictures from one of my favorite islands -- always better than the usual boring blog spam.Behind the lens of those nice blog photos was the lovely Shalimar -- apparent world traveler and food expert. Shal graces us internet surfers with some nice photos from

Harbour Island provided me with a number of unique opportunities to shoot my favorite type of picture, virtual reality and panoramas.I added a page to HarbourIslandGuide.com called Harbour Island Virtual Reality Tour.The image of Lone Tree, as seen from the camera as it points directly down, is shown here. Those virtual reality images where you can see everything above and below are referred to

I finally got around to launching my Harbour Island Pictures and Images shop. I had a difficult time choosing which photos to start with. Harbour Island has so much to offer a photographer.One of my favorites is Harbour Island's Crown Street. This little narrow street is so Bahamian, so rich in colors; pink, coral, green, white along with a polaroid blue to back it all up. So peaceful and

A rare view of the e-lite Lunch Club hard at work. Now we know their secret -- liquid diets. Amazing I was invited. Even more amazing is they let me bring my camera. Bad idea. Now, it's all over the net. Oops, I did it again.And the only reason they invited me was because I'm always the designated driver. What a buzz kill! Now I know how Dangerfield felt. At least they didn't stick me with the

I read elsewhere on some funky travel forum "the sand's not really pink, it's white." Too many Kaliks, bud! If you'd spend a little less time checking out the pink suits, you'd see we're talking pink sands! I can hear it now, "how pink are they?" The sand is so pink, it almost looks red at daybreak. You gotta try to get up real early once to see this phenom; stop hanging out at Gusty's till the

Found this article where Raphael Mazzucco talks about his S.I. photo shoot on Harbour Island. You may recall some of my muse on this subject in my entry Harbour Island makes cover of Sports Illustrated.I found Raphael's selection of equipment most interesting when it came to his Leica Digilux 2; something I had never heard of. The Pentax 67 was a lovely camera to use for those rich beach

Last trek to Harbour Island, I made sure to get a followup shot for my previous entry: B-Ball on Harbour Island...There are those large gatherings on a warm night -- groups of kids headed for the court under the lights -- bouncing their b-balls along the narrow streets of the island.Everbody knows everybody on this island. You don't miss a big game -- they are a treat to watch. And these guys

This is an image of what has become something of a landmark on Harbour Island -- Brilanders call it the Lone Tree. I Photoshopped this image for a while thinking I would put in on a tee shirt or hat and wear it on my next trip to Harbour Island just to see what kind of comments I would get. I had emailed it to an artist I know and showed it to a few other friends. They all did a thumbs down. "Not

I've been trading email with a photog from the Bahamas who has become an email friend over the years -- Derek from BahamaWave. Years back, Derek dropped me some email regarding my site for Harbour Island. After a few exchanges, he emailed me some links to some of his sites and I liked them enough to bookmark them. Derek has a great eye for Bahamian art. He also has an excellent collection of

I feel bad about not getting anything done around here lately. The good news is, I have a lot of content which will eventually get out. I have some panoramics from the last trip that will be most interesting. I was able to combine 360° virtual reality with the latest wave of "high dynamic range" or HDR, which is techno babble for a much broader and deeper color range. I'd like to say these will

Beach party? I'll bet. It kills me! Nobody thought to call me with an invite? The answering machine must be broke. And I would have taken the photos gratis!Well, you'll just have to use your imagination as to where the shot was taken on Harbour Island. Safe to say S.I. knows a good beach when they see one. (Now, now...)I haven't had the chance to run up to Barnes & Noble's rack to look-see if

It won't be much longer now. Spring is getting closer and so is our next visit to Harbour Island. I've been getting ready for the last month and still have a ways to go. With me, it's mostly about the gear I am taking. Rose Mary has been ready since Summer. Instead of packing all of her warm weather clothes in the Fall, she packs some it in a box for the trip to Harbour Island -- she's all ready

I just finished work on my latest entry for Harbour Island photo-of-the-month.There is a short time span in the morning where one can clearly see how pink the sand is on Harbour Island. The first time I saw this beach was in broad daylight, and I must admit, it didn't look too pink to me... Nor did it photograph that way. The sand looks bright white with the sun shining on top of it. A technical

Too many golf carts, cars, trucks and SUVs on Harbour Island? Probably. This article details some of the concerns:Traffic Crisis in ParadiseOne source tells me there are approximately 800 carts on the island not to mention there are at least half dozen golf cart rental companies. Bear in mind, Harbour Island is 3.5 miles long.Wait a sec... Before I go further, allow me to clear up that little bit

Bahamas Best Kept SecretPromise not to tell? One of the best kept secrets of the Bahamas is Harbour Island. This romantic little island, known as "Briland" by its inhabitants, is a short hop from the States. A one hour flight from Florida to North Eleuthera followed by a brief cab and water taxi ride gets you to this Bahamas gem in a hurry.Harbour Island is 3.23 miles long, and at its widest
