Friday, November 15, 2013

Thursday night I took a night photography workshop from Kauai Adventure Photography Workshops!  I had hoped to get one of those fantastic Milky Way over the Ocean shots, but it was not to be…cloudy.  There were only a few of us, and we practiced some nice sunset photos, then light painting and long exposure.  Here […]

Day 331: 13 November

Friday, November 15, 2013

We were pretty bushed after our day of mud buggies, so we took it easy the next day.  Here are various flowers and plants around the Bali Hai Resort!  I’d like to hear your opinion of what they are.  I only found a couple on the Flowers of Hawai’i guide sheet we got. Ummm…giant lettuce? […]

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Then it is down the road again! (PL2) And around another corner! (KATV) In to Jurassic Park!  Or at least the Valley where much of it was filmed.  Image long necked dinosaurs grazing in the distance… (A five photo panorama.  Click to enlarge; BACK to return!) (P7100) This should be a familiar mountain.  Besides the […]

(P7100) We went in the other entrance… (P7100) The tunnels are pretty clean, but that may be from the tour guides… (P7100) The wiring […]

At last: Lunch time! We had a waterfall to watch or swim under. (PL2) The Dailylife Dirty Girl! (P7100) The Dashing Driver! (PL2) We circled the wagons, errr, mud buggies, in case of attach by hostiles.  Chickens or cats. (P7100) I mentioned swimming? (P7100) And jumping!  We passed on it.  The thought of cold wet […]

Day 324, 11 November, Part 2

Monday, November 11, 2013

As I was hauling the trash across the street to the big trash bins, I happened to look up.  There was a big ol’ waxing 3/4 Moon!  I took several shots with my fancy new 70-300 image stabilized lens.  This is the best (pretty darned good for handheld, if I do say so, and I […]
