Hawai’i – Waikiki Tilt-Shift

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

I saw this effect online a little while ago and wanted to give it a try.  All of these pics are from Waikiki beach from last November.  It is a beautiful place, and I’m not sure if i like the effect or if I prefer the originals yet!

Hawai’i – A lighthouse and man-eating sharks

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

This iconic Hawaiian lighthouse is one of two on the island of O’ahu.  It was the location used for a scene in Adam Sandler’s “50 First Dates” and over looks Manana island, or Rabbit island if you are a tourist.  More interestingly, a few years ago a University of Hawai’i professor jumped off the lighthouse and his body was consequently eaten by four hungry Tiger sharks.
