The countries of the Caribbean are culturally and naturally some of the most compelling tropical areas of the world. The colorful interaction of the people, culture, architecture, landscape, and water creates diverse photographic opportunities that continue to keep us coming back over and over again.

This is one in a series of travel photography guidebooks we are publishing that cover the spectacular countries of the Caribbean.

The ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao) are the three western-most islands of the Leeward Antilles in the southern Caribbean Sea. These islands are located north of Venezuela. Aruba and Bonaire are covered in this book. A second volume is dedicated to Curacao.

Aruba and Bonaire together offer almost endless photo opportunities with spectacular beaches, towering cliffs, sea caves, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and cruising on catamarans. Scuba diving and snorkeling through the reefs and shipwrecks provide great underwater photography. Aruba offers a spectacular desert-like landscape that is a photographer's dream come true.

This book serves as a travel guide to some of the most beautiful photographic locations. The book's stunning images are accompanied by detailed information and tips on photo techniques, camera settings, framing, and composition.

The book is intended to be useful to multiple audiences including tourists wanting to make the most of the time available to them when visiting this area, photographers and artists wanting to identify the best locations to create great images, those wanting to continuously improve their photography, and travelers wanting a high-quality keepsake of remembrance.
