Summer Sunsets
I love summer in Hawaii. Maui becomes a giant playground. My teenaged kids are finally starting to see what the surrounding ocean has to offer, rather than viewing it at an obstical to traveling. Yesterday both kids learned how to stand-up paddleboard. They got to ride a jetski with a lifeguard a couple days back. Last week Jay and I went fishing with spears under the guidance of an experienced local, and brought home three Tako (Octopus) which we promptly ate as poke salad using a Sam Choy recipe.
I saw some nice moist clouds setting up for a good sunset recently, and ran out the door with my camera to re-shoot a favorite location UpCountry. Love these summer sunsets!
Next Friday is known as “Lahaina Sun” in the Hawaiian calendar. It is the one day where a person in Lahaina at noon will have no shadow because the sun is exactly overhead. This happens a day earlier in Kahului, Maui. This is the tidbit of the day.
The Maui Photo festival is in September. Check out www.MauiPhotoFestival.com. I’ll be offering an HDR class on how to make an image like this one.

This is a stunning pictur. I am so jealous, I would love to be able to get a sunset like that, but Oregon does have some marvelous sunsets when it is not overcast LOL. I always enjoy reading your blogs!!!
I’m getting excited, inspired, and ever so slightly better with my camera each time we go out for a day of shooting.
There were 9 young people sponsored by Canon at the Grand Canyon yesterday. They give 2 x 2-hr seminars per day for 3 weeks. About 60 people per session so lots of personalized help. They even loan cameras up to 5D Mark IIs with a variety of lenses. Loved it!
We can’t wait to get to Maui in Sept for your classes at the Maui Photo Festival.
Give Rachael a belated birthday hug for Sheila and me. Mahalo nui.
