HDR pics

I wanted to be creative today.  I was going to do some HDR photography.  Basically taking the same picture at different exposures and merging it together using a program.  I'm using a program called Photomatix (trial).  You can buy this program for $100.  Visit stuckincustoms.com to see Trey's Ratcliff HDR photo's and the link to download the photomatix application.  The trial program is free and has no expiration date, but you get the watermarks on your photo's.  This program is very easy to use.  Here are a couple more HDR pictures and how our day started early in the morning.

Shooting the stars, FAIL

Jeff and I went to Makapu'u around 11pm to shoot the stars. (FAIL).  Bummer, it was cloudy tonight. Taken at 34mm, F5.0, ISO 1250 and at 30 seconds.

Impromptu Family Portrait

This was taken in Kaneohe.  Usually we only take a family portrait during Christmas.  Today was different.  Everyone came for Lynn's mom 49th day service.  After Lunch we all gathered and took this picture.  I think it came out pretty good.  25mm, 1/40sec, ISO 400, and f8.0.  I used my flash for this pic

Haleiwa Beach

 Check out this view.  It's a perfect day for the beach.  Paddle board seems fun.  I wanna try it.  All pictures are unedited.
