Some samples from recent trip to Kauai

Wow, that first shot is epic Sury

It is impressive what an used Nex5 I picked up on eBay did. I bought a used 18-55 and a Sony
EA-LA1 too. It set me back a total of US$325. Family used the Nex5 and I had my A900.

The proof is here behind the coconut Mojito.

I am enjoying these shots.
More!

... and of course that iPhone has a camera in it as well

I really enjoyed my Nex 5 - it is a neat little camera.

Some great scenery there Sury, I looked on the map for fun and found the ‘Coconut Market’ but I couldn’t see where the lookout might have been. (but it doesn’t matter)
Great view/scenes from the helicopter too.

Greg,
The scenic look out is at the south end of Kealia beach. The second photo in the link
shows the beach. The scenic over look is outside the photo to the bottom left of the
image where you see some black surface next to water. This beach is about mile north
of Kapa'a town.

We took a jungle adventure tour which had hiking/kayaking and zipline combo.
The tour is conducted on a private working ranch which was supposedly largest
ranch on Kauai.



We stopped at a watering hole for lunch. Here is my son leaping off a 10 foot rock into water.



On the hike.

This is called Spouting Horn. http://www.gohawaii.com/kauai/regions-n ... uting-horn

This is a natural phenomenon where water rushes through a tube naturally formed in the rock and spouts up.

Thanks for sharing these lovely vacation shots, Sury. : )

The island is a very scenic land piece with lots of naturally amazing phenomenons occuring...The tones of green colour and its extensiveness around the land is awesome. The air must be very refreshing too. : )

(Oh, and, a brave son too. : )) You never can tell what awaits you in such corners of water reserves)

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you Yildiz.
This is on the way to Waimea Canyon Look out.



Waimea Canyon Look out.



We were tad nervous driving on those steep and curvy roads with heavy down pour.

Waimea Canyon shot with the rainbow is enchanting, Sury.

With a little touching up in processing you might even get a more vibrant shot too. It's a promising one for printinting, even as a poster.

The roads are looking rather tricky shot from the car window. I suppose there's a great deal of risk of sliding off of the road if not slow and steady and one has to be careful when stepping on the brakes.

Lovely...

Thanks for sharing,

It’s amazing how the vegetation reclaims what was volcanic rock and magma, all good stuff Sury.

Yildiz, Greg,
Thank you. I will try to make it tad more "vibrant" Yildiz. I backed off from
my initial touch up thinking it might be too "artificial". Let me put some thought
into it.
