Iglesia de la Concepción

Mark Goldstein | Personal | March 7, 2004 | 7 Comments

I’ve just finished downloading the 5,014 photos that I took during my recent trip to Tenerife. A quick calculation reveals that’s an average of 500 photos a day, equivalent to 140 rolls of 36-exposure film, which at Ł5 per roll to process would have cost me £700. Thank God I’m using a digital camera!

Anyway, enough about the financial side of things, are the photos any good?! Well, here are a few to kick off what may turn out to be an extensive series. I’ve decided to try and make sense of all those photos by breaking them down into geographical location. So here is the Iglesia de la Concepción, a church that was just round the corner from my hotel (the Anaga).

Mark,

I know the place very well, I call it New London smile. But it is a great place to shoot pics. The Teide, the sea, even the wildlife...yeah there is some eventhough you wouldn't expect it. Nice place to visit for a week or so but I would get bored to stay in the same place for longer. Did you visit Santa Cruz? Nice shots.

Dax, I stayed in the Hotel Anaga in Santa Cruz, which is just near the main square (plaza de la espana). Great for visiting the centre of the city, not so good for getting a good night's sleep during the Carnaval!

Hi Nantel,

I actually only have 2 x 512Mb compact flash cards (the model is PQI 24x speed). As soon as one is full, I transfer the contents onto a Vosonic XS-Drive portable storage device, which has a 20Gb hard-drive, and use the other blank compact flash card while the files are being copied. The XS-Drive isn't particularly fast and there's no way of checking what has been copied onto it (without access to a PC), but it is cheap and most importantly reliable - all 5,014 were present and correct when I got home grin

For a full review of the XS-Drive read this:
