At what resort was the top pic taken?

The Marriott Waiohai Beach Club in Poipu. We usually stay at the Kauai Beach Club near Lihue but tried Poipu this time. The units are much better in Poipu, but I prefer the centrality of Lihue/Kapaa.

That's what I thought. I went to Kauai on my honeymoon and stayed at the Kauai Beach Club, but we went to Poipu a few times. I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized the shot except for the fact that we have some pictures that were taken on that exact same part of the path at about the exact same time of day. Funny.

No, but the picture is approximating Fujian.

OK, enough of my lame attempt at humor. Fuji film was known for its color saturation. I'd rather be known as Fujian than Nikonian.

Didn't fuji film focus on bringing out greens, while kodak the oranges? or was that just colors of the packaging?

I suggest PAC print and sign a picture of him posing like The Lord on the beach as the prize for the Holiday Running challenge.

Second prize can be two pictures, including a reclining nude.

I remembered that Kodak film was supposed to be warmer overall, and Fuji more saturated. But hey, now that I think of it, maybe the idea with the packaging colors is right!

Yes, I know about Fuji wet. Sorry for busting your chops. My photog guru Ken Rockwell waxes rhapsodic about Fuji Velvia 50. Some day I'd like to shoot on this stuff, if I had but time and patience and a Tachihara 4x5.

Nikon D3000 with 2 lenses for 409... Is that a good deal for this camera?

I've only ever had point and shoots but my wife would really like a better camera (me too, of course)...

A friend of mine took this today. I want to be there so badly right now.

Art your photos are getting better and better.
Wuap, the colors in your photos are so typically nikonian.

I have a bunch of my photos on pinterest. When someone repins my photos, I get an email informing me. I never would have guessed that these would be the most-repinned photos. I think that subject has a lot to do with it.

That's down by Moab right?

I've been encouraging my wife's recently acquired photography hobby with good results. Last weekend she took a night photography course and here are three of her shots, the second of which was taken a couple of blocks from our fils' residence.

[Indy Coug]

I particularly like this shot.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Pac, those are some great shots.

[Art Vandelay]

Super impressive Mrs. Pac. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get a nice motion picture, like #2. Night photography like the bridge is incredibly hard- too long of exposure and you lose the dark background, too short of exposure and the lights on the bridge won't pop. Was she in a lighted area? The moorings really stand out.

She's not around to comment, but I know some of the shots had exposures of 2 minutes or more.
