LONG story... but i won't go into all of it. since it's the end of my spring break vacation, the only thing that's really important is that i got the opportunity to enjoy nature and the outdoors on the other side of the island. last weekend we went camping at the beach park near chinaman's hat for a night. i don't think i like camping as much as i thought i did... but it was an experience for sure, so that's cool. probably the coolest thing about camping out all night was that the moon was almost full and nighttime was almost just as clear as day. i'm not exactly sure the physiology behind those rods and cones in our eyes and how they relate to night-vision and clarity, but i could swear that i could see clearer and farther in the dark, whereas things would be blurrier in the daylight. unfortunately, it's a bit hard to describe, and no picture could really do justice to being out on the beach in the middle of the night surrounded by the mountains in the backdrop and chinaman's hat pointing out of the water in front of you. but here are some shots i tried to take, check it out:
i had a tough time trying to get the pictures to focus in the very little bit light, but since there was an almost full moon i got some night shots with the palm trees...
a shot of the lights across kaneohe bay from the grass along the shoreline...
another shot of the moon and stars...
then in the morning before sunrise i snapped this pic of chinaman's hat with this weird breakwater barrier that ran along the shore...
a cool little trick with the slow shutter setting...
the sunrise... finally!
here's a shot of the mountains in back of us...
and lastly, my impression of an artistic photo, a shot of a tiny shoreline wave breaking inches from the sand (i'm especially proud of this one because it took my super-quick reflexes to keep my camera from getting wet).

gorgeous! you've really got the eye for taking nice shots. my favorite is the last one. i tried to do something similar with an underwater camera.. you know, take half the shot underwater and half above like i saw someone do in the newspaper. but for one it was a disposable camera and hello, the view finder is not where the lens is so i ended up getting all underwater or all land and didn't find out till after it was developed.
anyway, nice job :D
