Lovely shots, all of them. Some of the HDRs were really stunning. One question: How do you achieve the B/W effect in shot 2 and 3. Is it by coloured filters or post-processing. Do you set your camera to B/W, or do you do everything on your computer? A short user-guide for dummies would be appreciated if you have time.

Love the turtle, very nice timing! All the other shots are great also, especially the first HDR from inside the pier.

[Sheiky]

Great dynamic HDR's Gregg. A little too much processing for my likings, but they are done great. I really like the photo with the reflection in the table, great shot!

And the best for last....'Lil Photographer!!!

...a trip to Hawaii 2500 Dollars, some cocktails on the beach 50 dollars, entrance to a museum 20 dollar, best photo taken....priceless []


By the looks of it, you had a nice trip [Y]

No sign of the Tokina in your bag this time.


Cheers,

Beautiful shots!! My favorite is the special moments captured in the last and second to last and the first shot is absolutely beautiful!!

[andnowimbroke]

Love the turtle.. and your wife is hot

[btaylor]

Also love the turtle and the HDR from the pier looking back toward the mountains. Great stuff Greg.

[greggf]

Thank you everybody for checking out the pictures. There will be more to come....


@Lars...processed in CS5 using the individual sliders in the black and white conversion...just have to play around with them 'til you like what you see.


@Steve...the Tokina made it into the bag, but still couldn't compete with the Nikon....still waiting for Canon to come out with an UWA that has sharp corners!!


@andnowimbroke....thank you...but that's the babysitter in the background.....[]


@qwrad, Jan, Denise, and btaylor...as always, thank you!!

Wow Gregg, nice shots! My fav is the log on the beach-good perspective. Looked like a fun trip.


Cheers,
