Maui Photos

20101023-img_9077

We are still working on our Maui photos. We didn't take a whole lot and I'm not exactly thrilled with them, which may be the reason for the delay. This was a composition I was excited about and took a lot of photos, but was unimpressed with the final image.

Snorkeling Trip

P938

Having a fantastic, relaxing time in Maui. Sleeping 9 hours each night AND taking 2 hour naps each day...supposedly was way behind in sleep.

Today we are out on a catamaran snorkeling. Perfect weather and fun being had by all. I've actually taken nearly 300 photos with the much neglected Canon 5D Mk2 in the last few hours. Will post some of those photos later.

This photo was actually taken with our Canon 5D Mark II not with one of our iPhones. It was accomplished by not only use our tripod, but also our Canon 580EX II flash. I am certainly not an expert to this sort of setup, especially compared to our good friend Mark Wallace. However, I think the photo turned out fairly well and required only 15 seconds of minor tweaks in Aperture 3. As a matter of fact, this may be the best family photo we have to date.

Have not had time to review and process photos from our trip to Crater Lake last weekend. Doubt I will this week either, but we are going on vacation (12 days, not just 3) starting this Saturday so maybe I will catch up then.
