WAIMEA VALLEY KAUAI

Here's a 10-shot stitched panoramic taken from the Waimea Valley lookout platform on Kauai.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT

This shot was taken at the trail head of the Madison Falls Trail in the Olympic National Park in northwest Washington.

KAUAI MOUNTAIN VALLEY

This mountain valley and stream from shot from our helicopter tour of Kauai in June.

HORSES IN A MOUNTAIN VALLEY

We drove by this scene on the way to photograph a sunset at Kee Beach in Kauai and stopped to take a few shots.  It would have made a great evening location to stake out and spend an hour or two shooting but we had a plan to shoot the beach sunset and we were determined to stick to it!  This was my favorite of the few shots I had time to take.  Although I liked the composition I thought the lighting was a little flat and I used a technique Tony Sweet calls a "digital sandwich" to amp it up.

KAUAI MOUNTAINS

This is a shot of some of the mountains we flew over on our Jack Harter helicopter tour of Kauai.  It would be hard to imagine how green these mountains are without seeing them.  I suppose that's one of the outcomes in an area with 468" of average rainfall per year!
