Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

[...]I went home and looked it up...friggin $900 a night !!!!

It sure looks great tho'

Oh, but that includes all the meals, too! Actually, rates start at $625. And it's for 2 so my daughter and I will each pay half...of the KAMAAINA rate! Yes, they have 'em! The photo of the "Fijian" hale in my post above would go for that rate due to it's size and location within the property. The hale in the first photo here would go for the highest rate. OMG...whatta spot! It's out on the point in the (unretouched!) photo below.

Mel would have a photographic field day at KVR...lotsa flora, fauna and scenery.

Hana Girl has left the showroom...

Well I know most of you in hawaii remember the cute Golden Pup, running around McKenna's showroom floors in his Kailua Dealerships. By the time I joined the McKenna Family, Hana had retired. She would visit seldomly, usually special occasions.

But we're going to miss her..

Love,
Mz. Kaya

Awww. She had good long run, though, didn't she, Kaya? Eighteen years old when she passed, IIRC.

How we love our old dogs....

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

I've been wanting to buy a dSLR for awhile now. Looking on Amazon I saw a few. Any opinions on which $600+ one I should save up for?
Heres a few I was looking at.
Canon Rebel XT
Canon XTi
Pentax K10D
I have some high school photography lessons and am looking for something good, moderately priced and expandable.
Thanks. I'll post up some pics when I get home.

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

Circuit City seems to have some decent deals on Panasonic Lumix cameras. Just check out their customer ratings on cnet.com and amazon.com before you buy one.

By the way, great thread. Thanks for all the wonderful candid photographs of Hawai'i. Please keep them coming!

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

hello everyone.

Here is a little change in scenery. If any one gets tired of hawaii just let me know, I will gladly trade places with you.
This is my backyard after a snowstorm.

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

Kevin Jay, you're supposed to be in that photo shovelling all that snow!

Here's some shots I took several months ago of a "street performer" artist working in front of King's Village in Waikiki...


His medium are just aerosol spray paints, "found objects" such as drinking glasses, paper stencils, pointed hand tools and small paint brushes to create amazing terrestrial-meets-celestial surrealistic art. He builds each element in layers using the objects, stencils and various hand tools.

Because the workpiece is always covered in stencils with spots of overspray while he's working on it, you have no clue what the finished piece looks like until he removes them.


"Tears of Joy", the finished piece of what he was working on above. IIRC, the piece sold for $80. Not bad for about 45 minutes of labor and probably less than $5 of aerosol paint.

If you notice that white radial light glare under the water, he uses this interesting technique by placing the spray paint can upside-down with the nozzle on the canvas, then pumps quick bursts in radial fashion to create that. Very cool.

I found the new Geico mascot in our backyard yesterday...


A young chameleon macro shot. Photo taken 3.11.07.

She must be a female based on that blue eye mascara she's got on. lol

Notice the reptilian texture of its skin. Something difficult to see with the naked eye.

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

Nice pic of you aunty. Did you recently have your hair styled? Looks good!

Caught this paraglider ridge soaring off Diamond Head lookout yesterday evening...


Pretty neat composition with Diamond Head Lighthouse and the cloud-covered sunset in the background. Interestingly, these guys jump off at roadside level (where the surfer's garden is), then catch the updraft along the ridge's edge to gain lift, taking them way above their starting altitude.

Here's the first McDonald's to open in Hawaii, as it appears today...


McDonald's Aina Haina location. Photo taken 3.10.07.

Macpro, you reminded me that spring is afoot here in Oregon!
I went out and picked some freshly bloomed daffodils and took a look at my camellias! Sure puts a bright spin on the day, no matter how dreary inside the house.

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread

photos from last year's weekend maui getaway...which included an ultralight ride for the beau and me over hana. i'm the passenger in the first pic (note that my little foot can't quite reach down into the footrest and slightly hangs outside the fuselage) and eric is the passenger in the second pic (his legs are long enough so his feet don't dangle. and yes, that is the hana highway he's looking down at).

if you've never gone on an ultralight trip, it's awesome. it might be a lil gut--wrenching at first, bcs basically, you feel like you're riding a motorcycle sidecar with wings on top and a motor in back (there is a parachute somewhere). i tripped out when i looked down and saw a plane below us. once you climb high enough, you can glide without the motor on, and when you do that...agh...it's indescribably joyful. nothing like hearing the rush of the wind, smelling the crisp cold of the salt water, and reaching your hands out, literally, to touch a cloud.

Spring is bursting all over. Nice pictures!

That must truly have been breathtaking.... great views, even though you probably could not take your own photos. It's nice they had a camera mounted on the planes to get these.
