Description


Waikoloa Hawaii - The morning sun rises above the mountain on the Big Island and brings the Palm Trees to life at the waters edge.

Canon 28-135 at 28mm. ISO 100, 1/30th @ f13, EC 0 (N&L) As a side note - I hiked across the rugged surface of the lava field (which looks a lot like the surface of the moon, only black in color) to the edge of the Pacific Ocean and set up a tripod before sunrise to get the image.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D

Hi I'm back!! Sorry about not commenting in so long but I had a visiting BPer. I'm not going to comment on ALL the missed photos because there is to much outstanding work in the bunch. I look forward to keeping up a little better now that the grand tour is done. Thanks for stopping by my gallery while the touring was still going on.
