Liliuokalani Garden 4/11/09

Our fourth field trip for my Advanced Photography class was to Liliuokalani Gardens for a portrait shoot. I had joined them last year and had a great time so it was good to be able to go again. This time, I finally got my waterfall shot from the foot bridge!
I did the slow shutter speed shot of the waterfall since the water was really brown and cruddy looking from the overnight rain.
However, the rain made the foliage really nice.
We had a lesson on photographing kids. Rule of thumb..keep it short since they lose interest...I think he was reaching his limit.
It's good to have willing subjects to participate. You can tell a lot by a person's smile and he had an honest smile.
I forget if I was supposed to crop to the knee when on a sitting pose...
After the shoot, a group of us went to Nico's on Pier 38. I forgot to take a shot of my lunch, the Catch of the day (grilled Swordfish). The best I could do was this shot.
After lunch, I took a quick walk down the pier. Too bad there was no activities of unloading containers and I just got a shot of the ship with a nice sounding name 'Cassiopia'.
