Whale watching spot

Hawaii is over half way thru Whale Watching season.  A prime spot to see whales on Oahu is Makapuu Point.  Here’s a panorama I took standing on the lookout directly above Makapuu Lighthouse and facing mauka. To the right is the Windward side of Oahu.

 

Just a nice morning

Cool Winter Morning

You wouldn’t know from looking at this photo, but the morning was chilly in Hawaii Nei.  Low 60’s BRRRRRRR!

Kapiolani Park

Last Saturday morning I went to Kapiolani Park for the Hawaiian Scottish Festival. The two day event started that morning and I went to see what photo opportunities I could find.  Kapiloani is a large space just a frisbee throw from Waikiki Beach.  It’s almost in constant use with organized games of soccer, rugby, and baseball.  Netball had an international tournament in 2006 in the park.  With so much room a family can picnic there with no worries an errant soccer ball will land in the pupus.

 

Vertical Panorama 2

On Wednesday of this week (9/16) I assisted a couple of my Hang Gliding friends launch from Kamehame Ridge above Waimanalo.  Being a beautiful clear morning I decided to walk to a higher point along the ridge known as “Three Poles”.  On days like this you’re rewarded for your effort with a view of the eastern most point of Oahu looking towards Molokai across the Molokai Channel.

Capturing this view in one shot is beyond the capability of my photo gear.  Instead, using my wide angle lens 17-35 (effectively 25-52 on my Sony A700) I made a series of vertical shots.  After importing the 23 shots into Lightroom for processing the individual exposures I ran them in the Photoshop CS4 merge to Panorama action.
