The next few blog articles will explain how I made images on this trip to Hawaii.

First stop, San Jose and the Bay Area:

Made with my iPhone 13Pro, set on “1x Close Up” with available light. There is a little fall off of depth-of-field at the top because of the close up setting. Image made at Hog Island Restaurant, Larkspur Landing, California, a restaurant we have visited before.

Several aerials made with my iPhone 13Pro on various settings:

Downtown Honolulu

Aerial view of Diamond Head.

Sunset palms on Hawaii.

Here’s a neat panorama shot from my hotel balcony. It was made with my Canon 20mm lens, set at ISO 100, 125th of a second @ f/5.6:

Made with the “Photomerge” facility in Photoshop.

Here are a couple of images from our tour on March 6, 2024:

This shot in original B+W, was made near Kona, Hawaii with a #25A Red filter to accentuate the sky.

Here is a shot made not with a closeup lens, but, again my slightly wide-angle 20mm. It was made at Mountain Thunder Kona Coffee farm on the big island of Hawaii. Settings were ISO 1000, f/8 @ 1/125th of a second. A fill-in flash was used to highlight the water and a few of the leaves. 

Here I am shooting in Hawaii with my lens pouches on my belt! I try never to carry any camera bags when I am just walking around looking at the sights.
