A view of part of Windward O`ahu from the top of Makapuu Point, near the far eastern end of the island. The banding, again, is caused by using manual exposure and having banks of clouds blocking the sun. |

Poipu Beach on the south shore of Kauai. It was kind of windy this day so even with a good tripod the wind kept moving the camera so some areas are not lined up correctly. We had 2 Hawaiian Monk seals resting on the beach. The one on the right moved during the GigaPan so its head stitched together kind of funny. |

Salt Ponds - some of the individual images are not in focus :-(
The sign reads "absolutely no smoking and alcoholic beverages, no food and eating in the salt making area". I've been listing to kkcr.org streaming on the web since I got back (when I'm not listening to somafm), and periodically they have the surf report for the salt pond, and I think 'he he, I've been there.' Travel is good. (197mm equivalent) |

The exif data confirms I shot this at f8, but I still got vignetting, and other strange artifacts. I am sure I have something to learn from this image. (163mm equivalent) |

Kalalau Valley is one of the most scenic and beautiful spots in the state of Hawaii if not the world.
I often ask my customer that I take on my tours what scenery they liked best out of all the places that I took them to, and they often say this lookout. It is sometimes covered in clouds but some times in just a minute it totally clears up. When I first got to the lookout today it was totally white. I waited about 30 minutes to get this view, and it got even better after that. I suggest patience if this lookout is cloudy for it is very much worth your wait. Often on a clear day when people walk up to this look out, I hear them saying WHOOOOOW!!!!!! I will upload photos of Kalalau with better lighting conditions in the future. I think it looks nice w/ some clouds too. カララウ ヴァレーはハワイ州の中で一番美しい景色が見える場所です。世界の中でもトップに入る景色だと思います。ここの景色は今まで案内したお客様の中で一番人気のある場所です。 時々、雲がかかっていることがありますが、待てば晴れて全体を見ることができます。 |
