From Maui earlier this month: sunset on a boat. While we mostly enjoyed the sunset cruise, we learned that we are firmly terrestrial people and won’t bother with boats again. Unless it is a ferry in exceedingly calm waters (like the San Francisco Bay).
Here’s a collection of sea turtle parts while on Maui earlier this month. I made ample use of the X100V’s continuous shooting mode, getting several hundred photos and out of those only about six with clearly identifiable turtle parts. They’re amazing creatures and I can spend hours watching them from a distance that won’t stress them out. You will likely need to tap on a photo to zoom in to see details of the turtle part(s) :-)
Saw a beautiful orchid today.
From the left: Jupiter, Moon, Saturn. Then just the moon.
Haleakala as the morning sun peaks over. Then crepuscular rays! The first time I ever noticed them.
Dragon’s Teeth at Kapalua, Hawaii.
Playing with Bulb on my X100V. 7 second exposure of Haleakala at nautical dawn. So cool that I can control the shutter with my phone.
Sunrises and Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii never get old.
I didn’t get why people include grain in their digital photos, thinking it is an anachronistic hipster thing. I’ve fully come around and find grain added by my camera can make photos seem sharper yet give blur and subjects more character. Photos feel better with grain.
