Smooth Waters

This is a 10 second shot through a neutral density filter to cause the water to smooth out. Mostly I don't care for these types of photos, I think because they are generally done for way too long and the water looses its character. As I started processing this photo I thought it would look good if it were made to look more like a painting that a photo, so that is what I tried for.

Shades of Blue

We were standing on the black lava cliffs of Maui with the waves crashing in on the base of the cliffs. The sky was mostly cloudy but the sun broke through for just a few minutes and gave us this beautiful show of blue and white foam as the wave broke.

Roots at Twin Falls

This is Twin Falls on the island of Maui. I set my camera on a tripod, dialed in all of the settings and then waited, and waited, and waited....until all the people moved out of my way so I could get a clear shot of the tree roots and waterfalls. Finally I had just a few seconds before somebody stepped in front of me to take a selfie. But I had time to get three shots. This is one of them.

Blue Parrot

While traveling along the road to Hana on Maui we came across a person who was trying to get people to hold his parrots so he could take pictures of them and then sell them the photo. We gave him a small donation and he allowed me to take a few pictures of his bird.

Young and Old Alike

From 4 to 102 nobody was safe when I was on the hunt for photos of persons hands to show my Seniors Class at Taylorsville Senior Center. It was an assignment I titled, "I'll Hand It To You".

Carianne

Karianne is very good on the bag pipe, she just won some awards at a competition she entered. She has been playing the bag pipe for about 3 years.

Guns and Lettuce

We all have varied hobbies, for Eldon it is shooting sports, both shooting and collecting, and Lynda his wife it is gardening.
