Hey gang. As the title suggests, I'm back from Hawaii. Here are some of my favs that I've had time to edit.

WOW I love all of them!!@11one!

Those are all really good. Great work!

Fantastic series and lucky you for going.

Some funny vertical lines in #3 on my monitor.

I'm really liking #6.

Well done on all.

 

[Digital Matt]

Thank you both for your kind commets.

kundalini, #3 has an intentional texture to it. The vertical lines are to simulate the print being on a scroll. I hope it will translate better in print. After spending 10 days in a mostly Asian culture, with a heavy Japanese influence, it's hard not to be inspired by it. That, and spending a day at the Honolulu Arts Academy viewing amazing traditional Asian art

Thanks again.

Beautiful pictures. What island were you on? I went to Kuai over the summer, and left my 2 gig memory card there. It was rather unfortunate. I only have 3 or 4 good pics from the entire trip.

Thanks Chris. These are all from Oahu. How did you end up leaving your 2g card there? Just forgot to pack it? We had a late flight out (11pm) so we had all day to pack and make sure we had everything. Living out of a suitcase sucks.

Ahhhh. The print will surely be much better to your interpertation. Thanks for the explanation.

This is a gorgeous series! I really dig the texture in #3, it gives a great feel overall. The drama in the other photos is fantastic, rich colors and great lighting. :thumbsup:

Jaw dropping stuff, all of 'em! But my eyes keep coming back to the last one...the purply-blue colour of the swirling waters in the foreground next to the pink of the sky (reflected also in the water) just makes me drool.

ah. and here i was thinkin it was rain...

I thought it was rain also till i read the replies lol

Love the sunset ones :thumbup:

 

[ShaCow]

[Digital Matt]

Thanks everyone. We had a great time indeed

#5 is my favorite followed closely by #2

 

[Renair]

2nd last for me, but you really need to clean the sensor dust.....

On number three I knew it was an effect once I saw it, I guess I'm the only one? Haha.

Wow your photos are stellar, seeing these types of pictures make me feel bad about mine!

If I had to pick one photo out of all your pics I would have to choose the last one. The mixtures of pink, red, light blue, navy blue, and purple is great!

Awesome stuff!
