Circumpolar star trails high above Haleakala National Park in Maui, Hawaii

It’s an interesting feeling to be atop Haleakala, high above the South Pacific, with the feeling of being on top of the world. Atop Haleakala National Park you can see out for 50 miles in every direction when its cloud-free and you tower above the rest of Maui.  Yet when you take a star trail photo such as this you quickly realize that you were really on the side of our spinning globe. Star trail photos are always fun, but I’m particularly fond of this one because Polaris is so much closer to the horizon than I’m used to. One day it would be equally fun to head closer to the Arctic to see Polaris directly overhead.

Happy Shooting!

Maui Style: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 real-world samples posted

22 Sep

Fall weather has arrived here in Seattle, so what better time to head for the Valley Isle of Maui? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300 superzoom, which features an 25-600mm equiv. F2.8 lens and weather-sealed body, somehow found itself in a suitcase. You can see how it handled the tropical weather in our real-world sample gallery.

Sunset Over West Maui

26 Jan
Sunset Over West Maui

Sunset light illuminates clouds over west Maui

This was taken on a trip a year back atop the peak of Haleakala. While many are lured to this location to see the sunrise one should not miss sunsets either. It’s not everyday you get to sit a top the world and see for up to 30 miles or more in every direction. While driving here with my son he wisely stated, “This volcano is too big!” It is gigantic (10,023 feet above sea level) and amazing even more when you think how far down it goes below the ocean (28,227 feet from the ocean floor). It’s only rivaled by Mauna Kea on the big Island of Hawaii, which by chance you can see looking in the opposite direction from this view.

Up close encounter with Humpback Whales in Maui – January 25, 2010

29 Jan

Amazing whalewatch trip. January 25, 2010. 2 humpback whales come right up to our boat, close enough to touch. If you go whalewatching on Maui, make sure to choose a small boat such as those offered by Ultimate Whale watch, www.ultimatewhalewatch.com. The smaller boats get out to the action quicker, can move around to different locations quicker, and allow you to have the closest possible interaction with the whales. All photos and video in this presentation were captured with a Nikon D90 DSLR – 18-70mm Nikkor zoom lens.

Mayhem in Maui

19 Nov

When Overtone books a gig in Hawaii, Dina plans a family vacation around the concert–and invites all of Morgan’s friends to stay at the Eastwood’s vacation home in Maui. But, she didn’t count on Francesca bringing along her unpredictable photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields. When the lovebirds land on the island, it doesn’t take long for Dina to pull Francesca aside for a little chat. Meanwhile, the band mates get feisty when they discover there’s only three suites to split amongst the group–and not all of the rooms have breathtaking views.
