More from the Big Island

 

This is called Rainbow Falls, for obvious reasons. You have to get there in the morning early to catch the sun at the proper angle or Rainbow Falls is just "Falls".

 

Rainbow Falls is located in the town of Hilo and is very easy to get to. I like it when I don't have to walk far!

 

There's something about the dark...

You can't go to the Big Island without going to see the volcano. It's pretty impressive during the day with the steam vents but it's even better at night when you can see the glow from the lava.

Aloha from the Big Island!

 

I've been wanting to go the the Big Island and  do a night swim with the manta rays for years and I finally took the time and went last week. It was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it to anybody not scared to get in the ocean at night.

 

White specks in photo. Bad image sensor?

Hi Ron and Quynh

I need your expert opinions! 

So today I was out taking pictures around the waterfront using my Wife's camera. I'm hoping I haven't broken it. I'm thinking the sensor might be burning out due to the many white specks showing up mainly in the darker areas of the photos. 

Any thoughts?

 

Old photos

 

More Sun!

Another picture of the Sun. This was taken about 10:30 am a couple of days ago, see how low the Sun is on the horizon!

Sunshine again!

Two weeks ago the snow on this road was two feet deep! Finally the rain came and washed most of it away and now the sun is here to melt the last of it...

Though Northern Vancouver Island is a beautiful place the winters here can be daunting with weeks and sometimes months of endless rain and overcast skies... It sure is nice though when the sun comes back!

It never snows here!

Quatse Lake Water Treatment Plant

It never snows here on Vancouver Island, or at least it didn't for three Winters in a row... Then this year it just won't quit! It started a couple of weeks before Christmas and hasn't warmed up enough to rain ever since. More snow in the forecast tonight.

 

Happy New Year

A snowy scene from the road up to Quatse Lake on Northern Vancouver Island.

Well it's official 2021 is done and we're at the begining of a brand new 2022!

Wishing my fellow bloggers and our visitors a Happy and prosperous New Year!

Playing with timelapse following the clouds into sunset

 I'm still learning a lot about timelapse video but as always, I buy all of the equipment and figure it out later! This was shot with the Nikon D850 on a motorized rail from my lanai.

No snow here!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Northern Vancouver Island

This is a picture Stephanie took of our bottom yard about two weeks ago. It hasn't quit snowing or warmed up since... It's definitely going to be a "White Christmas" on Northern Vancouver Island this year!

- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year -

Morning rain on Maui

 This is another time-lapse from the Nikon D850. I even managed to get a rainbow in this one.

This was two and a half hours of taking photos every five seconds.

Sunset at Big Beach

 

This is Big Beach, also known as Makena State Park on the south end of Maui. This shot was actually taken looking away from the sunset. On this particular evening there wasn't much happening where the sun was going down but behind us it turned into a pretty good show.

 

Timelapse photogoraphy with the Nikon D850

 The Nikon D850 has the ability to shoot and put together a time lapse in the camera. I have been playing with this some lately because the possibilities for time lapse here are just about endless.

This time lapse was taken from my lanai last month. This is two hours of photos with a photo being taken every eight seconds.

More from Maui

 

 

Whale season is officially over here in Hawaii but I was able to get out a few times before it ended and do some flying with the drone. These three shots were from March and April.

 

Aloha from Maui!

 

 

Aloha!

 

It has been a very long time since I posted anything. Life has been keeping me busy here in paradise. Of course the pandemic hasn't helped much either.

I haven't done much in the last year photography wise but I do have a few things that I am going to post and I have officially started back taking photos with my new camera, a Nikon D850.

 

This particular shot was taken with my drone just a couple of days ago.

Hopefully there will be lots of interesting photos to post soon.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A couple of views of Hardy Bay. It was the shortest day of the year a couple of days ago, Already looking forward to the longer days and warmer weather! 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

Hope this coming year is better than the last...
