Fireworks

This isn't my post for today. I just wanted to share these with you. Yesterday, when I had to trash the idea of going to the Lighthouse because of rain, I still had to go to Honolulu to run some last minute errands. As I arrived, the rain stopped and I thought I might be able to get some fireworks shots if the rain held off.

The weather did cooperate. Just as the fireworks began it started drizzling very lightly. Since the "show" only lasts about 5 minutes, it was okay. It still didn't rain for my entire ride home, but it poured all night.

The image below is a cropped portion of the above image. I shot wider views last night because I wanted to see how the scene would look if I included some of the buildings surrounding the fireworks site. Which do you like better? the horizontal or vertical?

The image below is also a crop of an horizontal image. I shot all of them horizontal just to insure I'd get the entire firework burst.

check back later to see my post for today.

By the way, I probably won't be posting Sunday's post until very late tomorrow (Sunday) or maybe not until Monday morning. So let me wish you all a happy and Blessed Easter. God is risen!

Rain

It's raining.

Again.

A lot.

Sigh

Had to scratch plan A which was a trip to the lighthouse. So you get photos of rain instead. Enlarge to see the full effect!

Friday, 13th

I spent some time with a new friend who is into photography. We intended to go to Makapuu Lighthouse, but by the time we got to Honolulu, the wind was pretty intense and I knew that we wouldn't be able to get sharp photos with the wind blowing like that.

So we decided to hang around Waikiki. These are just some random images.


These two appear to be homeless, but hmmmm, notice the laptop. Gotta love it. My friend spent a lot of time photographing these two and they were very friendly and cooperative. They gave her some great smiles and shakahs, but I seemed to be pointing my camera in the opposite direction each time.



Awesome sand sculpture. The artist said it took him about three hours.
