From Erick's blog from last 4th of July fireworks, he got great firework shots. I now know you can see the entire Aloha Tower from there.
You can see the dinner or lunch cruise come in as well.. The polarizing filter turned my photos really blue. I actually have to de-saturate the blue color in PSE. I think it did make the clouds 'pop'.
I caught a speeding harbor master's boat.. I didn't realized I had panned.
Then we saw this cool vessel w/ huge mast, the Kaiwo Maru of Tokyo Japan, leave the harbor w/ tug boats guiding it's way out.
The ship was soo cool!
Die hard photog..
Could not resist taking a photo of Diamond Head from Sand Island.
We ended up at Moanalua Gardens. This plantation house was cool..but I didn't have my wide lens to get the entire house. Even with the polarizing filter, the afternoon glare was still too harsh.
I tried taking shots of the water.. I don't know if I was turning the filter ring correctly... was the water supposed to not have reflection? I donno..but still this shot came out nice.
There were LOTS of cardinals.. they were flying in and out super fast.. I was only able to get one that stopped just as I clicked.
I tried taking soft water shot w/ the polarizing filter. I learned I need to use aperture priority using a small aperture.. after like 10 tries, I finally got one that was soft enough.. my last shot was my best..
Hey, could not resist taking the tourist shot of the famous Hitachi tree.. I had to use my Lumix to get the entire tree.

Great shooting, Shun Wah!!
Lots of cool shots ie: panned shot, beautiful duck, cardinal with attitude and the soft water. The polarizer is pretty cool, which one do you have?
Great shots of the ships! I like the bird shots too, sharp and saturated. The polarized don't work if the sun is in front or behind you, it works best when the sun is 90 degrees to your lens. Very nice job!
