Proof that the beaches of Waikiki are filled with people from every

walk of life...

Thoughts, anyone?

Thx,

Like it a lot, but have a technique question. Did you do this in one shot or did you have to take one while zooming and the other one still?

Cheers,

Thanks for the great input, "E" -- much appreciated. Learning WHY a picture rates what it does is a lot more useful than just a number. :-)

FWIW, it was the contrast with the looming, "souless" giant that I was shooting for. Oh well, that's why it's subjective I guess. :-)

I wasn't able to stay in this location until sunset, but even in

mid-afternoon her beauty is obvious...

LOVE all the colors!

Which flash was used?

Ok, so I posted this from my recent San Francisco trip to share with

everyone something I thought was kinda funny. I was also impressed at

my 70-200mm f/4 lens, given this was shot at the crack of dawn at

200mm with VERY low light and at ISO 3200 so I could hand-hold it. It

was seriously cold too, so I'm also surprise my teeth shaking didn't

ruin the picture. :-)

Anyhow, people have been telling me they really like the picture so I

thought I'd see what you all think.

Cheers,

Unfortunately I couldn't afford to hold onto my Canon 180mm macro

lens. Before it left me, however, I was able to snap off a few

pictures. This is probably the best of the lot and was hand-held.

The color saturation with this lens was AMAZING. Miles ahead of the

other macros I've tried. But the 180mm was just to bulky & heavy to

carry around on vacation trips and steep hikes. I love my EFS 60mm,

mind you, but this 180mm classic will be sorely missed...

Just curious what people think of this one. It's been re-compressed for the web in

Photoshop, and I did "auto levels" which changed the hue from greenish to this. Seems kinda

like iPodding the moon. :-)
