Another shot I took whilst out with Terry on our long hike through the streets of Boston. You can see that “party yacht” better in this shot, it’s a bit of an eyesore against the brick and glass buildings, I wish I got lower to hide it better. I like the way the light illuminates the redish gold leaf on the cobblestones and the seagull waiting for a handout. Another HDR processed in Photomatix then finished with Nik Plugins and Tony Kuypers web sharpening action

Heiau means temple in Hawai’ian There were many types of temple from those for healing to those for luck in fishing or harvest, in voyaging and even those for success in war (although those were dedicated through human sacrifice). This Heiau is the only one in Hawai’i that was dedicated to surfing. Surfing was only for men of the noble class (who surfed naked apparently) commoners surfing in this area were put to death. But times have changed. This young Hawai’ian is sitting in front of the offerings on the Heiau watching the tourists surf in the fading of the day.

It was a beautiful morning when we left Lihue to drive to Waimea, but by the time we got to the canyon the morning clouds had settled down into the valley (see Rain over Waimea Canyon)) but we still headed up into the mountains to see what there was to see and when we reached Pu’u o Kila Lookout it was pouring rain. As we sat in the car watching people hurry back from the Kalalau valley trail the rain cleared and the sun came out so we took a short walk along the begining (or end) of the trail until it started to rain again, about 20 minutes later. You can see how the clouds and fog came up from the valley behind us – one moment you could see out over the valley and then 30 seconds later it would be completely covered in clouds. We traded favors of pictures with another family to get this shot of the two of us.

Taken while standing in the ocean in front of the Hilton Kaua’i where we stayed all 4 nights on Kaua’i. It wasn’t good for my tripod, I know that but it was hard to resist wading into the incredibly clear water in the warm pre-dawn hour instead of shooting from the beach. And the angle was so much better. I’m paying for it now, I should replace all the hardware on the tripod since it’s begining to rust.
This is a Pano HDR composed of 4 HDR images each of which was composed of 5 images taken at 1EV. The HDR was done in Photomatix and the pano was stiched in Photoshop CS4 (which rocks!). Adjustments were made with Nik plugins and Luminosity painting with Tony Kuypers luminosity mask actions. Canon 5DMII, Canon 16-35L f/2.8.

The day after Hurricaine Danny blew through we went down to Matunuck Beach, me to shoot, Mike to surf. It was too misty to do much shooting of him and Jas (and the 200 or so other surfers out there) so I squeezed myself up against a wall and shot the waves as they washed in and out. A quite hazardous job since the current was fierce and I was wearing jeans, boots and was carrying the 5DMII with the 16-35 and had a pack on with the other camera and my 100-400 and various sundries. It would have been sink long before swim. The cameras got a little spray on them and I got soaked up to my waist but was rewarded with some interesting images.
Mike having some fun
