Koae‘ula Landing
This was part of my birthday shoot…. I was actually going to get ready to leave so I could make it to my birthday lunch with a friend, but a bird decided to land. I was able to get shots of it while it was in the process of landing. I am glad I did not have my 70-300 mm which I normally shoot with loaded on my camera today. I was able to zoom, focus and use the full speed of my camera to capture these images today. I’ve not been out muct to see the birds this year for various reasons but this was a great shoot!
Colin the Koae‘ula
I recently made the acquaintenance of Colin, a young, and I do mean young, koae’ula. I was introduced by a man that I also randomly met who told me about the different birds and the years he’s spent coming out and checking on them… first to take pictures like me and now to just hang out with them, Colin was almost ready to head out on his own, to throw himself of the edge of precipice for the winds to car
V-22 Osprey
I was surprised by these two flying in formation… it was incredible watching them fly by!
Drop Baby...
This red-crested cardinal has been hanging out in my yard for a few weeks. I have been taking a series of photos of it but this is what I have been trying to do for a while. It will jump off the roof of the house and drop before spreading its wings and flying down. This is the first time I’ve managed to get a shot, in focus, during the drop phase!
The COVID Chronicles: Food
What with everything being shut down here in Hawaii, I’ve decided to chronicle the places that I have visited during this time for take-out. In part because I want to support local businesses. In part because hey, I need something to look forward to in a world of social distancing!
Koolau
It was not the best conditions to be taking photos today. Hot, humid, and rain falling enough that I need to wipe my lens regularly… but less than ideal weather can make for some good photos!
Koa‘e ‘ula January 21, 2019
They always seem to know when I am going to leave and then they do spectacular things!
Falls of Clyde
When I took this photo, I had no idea the Falls of Clyde would be back in the news just a few days later. I remember, as a kid, multiple field trips to see the Falls of Clyde and ever since, slowly watching the steady decline of the ship. Seeing it in the shape it is in, along with the shuttered Maritime Museum behind of it, is sad…
