My 2018 Poipu beach wild rooster photo has been viewed and liked by more people, more quickly, than most of my boring photos of flowers LOL

The Merrills love Hawaii light. Here's one RAW processed with minimal adjustments in SPP6.8.2. I've learned that in 'good light' the camera is a lot smarter than I am. Of course in 'bad light' everything is more complicated. I shot both cameras mostly at ISO125, I find slightly better results than ISO100. I've also used ISO160 with the Merrills, a nod to Laurence Matson's comments about ISO but I didn't go totally ISO200, especially in Hawaiian bright light.

I have now begun processing our catamaran boat trip down the Kauai Na Pali coast. Spectacular scenery, DP2Merrill photos taken from the moving boat

Later in the afternoon trip along the Na Pali cliffs coast, the clouds and haze were moving in. The catamaran turned at the end of the trip and began the return to port. More Na Pali photos on my Flickr page. Then some clouded in views from the tops of the cliffs (a different day's trip)

Nice light and landscape. Leveling and a little more contrast I think they can go well.

Just FWIW I considered straightening, but did not on this photo as I did on many from the moving catamaran. Why not? I'm shooting at a great angle to the cliffs, to my rear. The sea actually appears at such an angle, rather than straight on to the cliffs. Second, cropping would eliminate or diminish the wake. One point of the photo, in my description, was that the boat had turned and was speeding back to port.

Ok Sandy, thanks for the explanation.

Ok Sandy, thanks for the explanation.

The next day we were up in those clouds in back of the mountain tops, shooting down into the Waimea Canyon. The photos are a total mist/cloud/haze. I put a few up on Flickr.

I have many more Hawaii photos now online, after Na Pai cliffs by boat, onto a drive in the cloudy mountains, then a fern Grotto and touristy luau which was actually quite nice. We've been to many over the years, some better than others. LOL. More chicken photos too. Here's one of my favorites up in the mountains. Look at the magnified version at Flickr to see the detail of the hydrangea on the left.
