Kauai Hike

More from the 10 mile hike along the Awaawapuhi Loop. This last picture is the whole group, minus me! The Swift Family plus Amber. Such spectacular views along this hike!
Hope you enjoy!

More with the 50mm 1.8 Prime

Playing with the 50mm some more at the river and I am feeling a little better about maybe buying it, It's less forgiving than the lens I am use to, but I think with some good practice and work on my part I can get some really beautiful pictures!
One thing I have noticed is some purple highlights on the water in the last picture, is that a result of the lens or some crazy light maybe caused by a UFO overhead?
Thanks for visiting my site!

Clouds and Sunsets

Why doesn't Oregon look like this at sunset?
I have taken a break from editing and computers, but I am back! Stay tuned for more!

Playing with a 50mm f 1.8 prime

So far I am enjoying playing around with a lens i borrowed from my mother or on known on the internets as Make Everything Right. I thought i would just post these from my little adventure to the river the other day. The clothes and such spread every where we guessed was either from an "urban camper" or a zombie attack. I'm guessing that random box of jello might be a clue... I'm gonna go ahead and say it was a zombie attack.

Golfing and Flowers

More from Poipu golf course in Kauai, it was so beautiful! I have so many pictures from Hawaii left to edit and so little time!

Plants and flowers from around the resort. It's so fun to go through all these pictures and remember the exact moments when I took the pict. I have been neglecting my editing and my blog, I will work on that and try to get some more pictures out soon!
Love,
S

MCP Actions Contest

MCP Actions has sponsored a new lens contest. This is an amazing lens and I would absolutely love to win it for a huge, GIGANTIC upgrade from my 18-55mm lens that is currently on my Rebel XT body and it happens to be the one that came on it. I need and so badly want a beautiful new lens! I see that many many people have posted about this and entered this contest, but I figure that it wouldn't hurt to try! I hardly ever win anything, so maybe this is my time!! cross your fingers!

Pan-o-rama

This was my first attempt at a panorama, I think i did pretty well.
You better enjoy this one, it took me a long time!
This was what i replaced a firework show with on the forth of July, I think it was a wise decision! We just sat and watched the sun slowly go down on our last full day all together in Hawaii.

Any advice for me? Things to change? Inconsistencies?
Love,
