Stephan's Bay, another day...


So yesterday's picture of Stephen's Bay sunrise was pretty much as shot, no modifications to the color or anything.

That is definitely not the case with this picture. Using Photoshop I worked and reworked a rather bland looking sunrise and embellished the heck out of it until I finally came up with this!

We're not in Kansas anymore!


They are growing sunflowers here on the island. I've been told it's some kind of test plot for creating a bio-diesel fuel. It's definitely a very strange sight to see the mountains and ocean and a field of sunflowers!

Stephen's Bay Sunrise


This short but spectacular sunrise over Stephen's Bay lasted less than ten minutes start to finish.

Fortunately I was able to get a few pictures before it faded back to a regular old grey overcast morning.

And before you ask, no I didn't up the saturation at all, that's how deep red it really was, but only for a minute or two.

Tag team!


I got out of MY CHAIR for two lousy minutes and come back to find this! Normally these two can't stand each other and won't cooperate on anything, this time they tag teamed me!

The Curve


I know, it's a little weird but then so am I!

When I saw this palm curling up to the sky something made me want to take a photo.

Gran's Place...


Even though Gran passed on a while back this old WWII era beach house on Coal Harbour's waterfront is still known to the locals as Gran's Place.

Double Take


Whale season is in full swing here on Maui. It's my favorite time of the year!

The whales should be in high numbers and extremely active until the middle of March now. I'm trying to get out on a boat as often as I can to get photos this year. I took this shot this past Wednesday. I have about 1000 more photos to look through and I'm hoping for one or two more good ones out of the bunch.

Tails from the Sea



I just love this time of year!!


Although it looks like I was far away with this shot I was actually only about 4 feet away. I took this using a fisheye lens, that's why the surface of the water is curved, but it allowed me to get the whole whale in the shot.

I'm headed back out in a couple of days to see what else I can get.

Meanwhile behind me...


This was the scene behind me as I was taking pictues of the full moon in Coal Harbour last night, I snapped a couple of quick shots of the old WWII RCAF Seaplane Hanger before I headed home...

I can see I'm going to have to get out night shooting more often, totally different light to work with!

New Year's Moon


Almost too hazy to take pictures of the Full Moon tonight but I managed to get this underexposed shot with some trees in the foreground.

Happy New Year every one!
