The Wave

I was just playing with the photos that I took while in Hawaii last year, (day dreaming about going again someday) and decided if I could make one of them look like I remembered it. I shot this with my Cannon waterproof camera, I didn't want to get my good camera wet. After just a bit of work it began to look the way I wanted. Enjoy...LYLE

Nose to Nose

Not a very good picture but you saved the last one so I thought you might be able to save this one also. LYLE

First Underwater Shot

This was the first try at underwater photography, not very exciting. I was walking out to get into deep enough water to begin snorkeling and noticed a small silver fish, I wasn't aware there were so many around me. I was in about 12" of water, the fish were about 4" long. LYLE

Humuhumunukunukuapua"a

That really is it's name. It is the Hawaii state fish. One of the prettiest ones there. We also saw these in Samoa quite often. The name basically means "a fish with a pretty tail and a face like a pig", loosly translated. Very shy. LYLE

Soup on the Go

This turtle was bout 15" across, just a little one and he (she) did not like me being so close. It tried everything to stay away from me so I didn't pursue it very much. I would have liked a better photo but I just didn't want to harass it. LYLE

Going to School

These guys were about the size of one of my hands and there were hundreds of them. They used to greet us in Samoa from time to time so it was fun to see them in Hawaii also. LYLE

Black Striped Fish

I have no idea what kind of fish it is but there were lots of them. LYLE

Standing Guard

This ship is standing near the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. I don't know her name but she is certainly majestic. I know you will appreciate her. LYLE

Soups Up

Oh, wait a minute, we can't cook these, in fact we can't even touch them, they are protected. What a beautiful creature. Shot with my new Cannon D10. LYLE

Blue Hawaii

This is the same scene as the sunset, just taken in the afternoon. It is from the back yard of the property that we are staying at. I think I could live here. This is an HDR that was tonemapped in enhancer natural. I did adjust it to get some of the blue out of it. LYLE

Sunset at Haleiwa

This is what we were viewing Friday evening from the town where Darla lives. This was taken from the back yard of the beach house where we are staying. It is a five shot HDRA at +.7 EV with the 18-105 at 18mm and f8. LYLE
