Kauai blogging - part two

Back at Shaka Tacos for a Coke and a seat on the sidewalk (they have a power outlet handy for laptop users). Spent the day exploring via automobile the Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State park. Had gorgeous weather, temps in the high 70's, fluffy clouds everywhere to give some nice contrast to the photographs and since this was Tuesday, very few tourists. A bunch of busses but they went to the usual spots and were gone in 15 minutes. Too many people, sit and rest for a bit and they will all go away. My Mom and Dad had been here before but he had no recollection of this -- I suspect that I could keep taking him to the same place day after day and he would treat each visit as a new thing to be enjoyed. Took a bunch of images -- playing with High Dynamic Range photography and getting some good results. Using a combination of the Photomatix software with a copy of Photoshop that I had on another machine. Adobe allows you to "unlicense" it on one system and license it on another -- very thoughtful for someone traveling with a laptop but doing the grunt-work on a desktop... I'll be posting some of these when I get home -- for now, just a note or two every few days. Signing off for now... Posted by DaveH at February 12, 2008 6:17 PM
