Questions (technical and otherwise), comments welcome. Constructive critiques especially welcome. Once again, I was quite happy with the outcome of these pictures, so I wanted to share.

My wife and I after being married for almost two years finally found the time and funds to go to Kauai on our honeymoon. We stayed on this fantastic island for almost 8 days and enjoyed every minute of it. There's something for everyone. Road trips? Check. Laze around on the beach? Check. Surf? Hike? Walk? Check, check and check.

This is a great place to recharge oneself and refresh your perspective on life. It helped me teach myself to slow down a touch and enjoy the simpler things in life.

While doing all this, in the back of our head, we knew we'd have to get back to the reality of the rat race and we did our best to capture the magic and grandeur of the various scenes we were lucky to witness. Here's a small sampling from each day that will hopefully give you the feeling that you were there with us witnessing the majesty of this island.

Maritan:

A very enjoyable album to look at with some impressive, colorful images. Looks like you're dialing-in that Olympus. Thanks for sharing!

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #4052 on:** 19 Jun 2015, 08:48 pm »

Wow.

If you ever decide to print a "Maritan Calendar", let me know. I'll buy a couple. Those are amazing.

That Olympus is definitely a handy little tool. And, you're right. These are very colorful images - Hawai'i just lends itself to that so easily. You hardly need to touch saturation on these pictures because they are so naturally vibrant. Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks, Bob. If I ever decide to sell my pictures in any way, shape or form, you'll be the first to know.

Thanks for flattering me.

PeteG and Odal3 - The chopper pictures are definitely something else, aren't they? We went on a windowless chopper tour, so there were no reflections to contend with. That really helped take some clean shots. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks Brooklyn. Glad you were able to enjoy them.

Few more from Lake Powell, I heard not long after we left the flooding was pretty bad.

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #4059 on:** 21 Jun 2015, 01:35 am »

Lake Powell is the most beautiful place I've ever been to.
I have hundreds of photos from our boating trip in 2010.
