Hawaii Vacation

Posted on by

Two pretty cool images from my trip. The first one was taken late in the day at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu. It was not shot as black and white, but it sure looks like it came out that way. The image is unaltered except to scale it for the web. Shot with my Canon Digital Rebel, ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/4000 sec, 98mm focal length.

This image is slightly altered — rotated 0.5 degrees to the left to fix the slight angle I had when I took the picture. Same camera, ISO 100, f/13, 1/1000 sec, 119mm focal length.

Camping on the Peninsula

Posted on by

Before the end of the summer, we went to the Olympic Peninsula for a 3 day camping trip. The bike pose should look familiar :-). I bought a new Trek 7100 before the trip, replacing my 15 year old Schwinn 10-speed bike.

Hydroplanes on Lake Sammamish

Posted on by

I was told at the event that this occurred all across the country, but I had never seen it before — hydroplane racing. These are smaller versions of the hydroplanes sometimes shown on TV. I had my bigger zoom with me — this was shot at 300mm, f/5.6, 1/2000 sec. I did crop the image to clean it up a bit.

Whale off of San Juan Island

Posted on by

Shot at with a mere 135mm lens — that should tell you how close this whale was. F7.1, 1/400 sec, ISO 100. Very cool whale watching trip. The guide was great and the whales were cooperative.

Um, this should look like the pose I usually have when I lean on my motorcycle. Had to get one with the 3 wheeler moped on San Juan. Moderately edited (the person who took the picture had the camera slightly rotated).
