71st Na Hula Festival - 8/7/2011

The HPS photographers met for our August outing at the Hula Festival. This is the first time I've been to this festival, but it's the 71st annual event. The dancers were dressed in colorful dresses and the weather was perfect for this event.  We found great seats on the benches in front of the band stand and was able to take a panorama shot. 

There were many talented keiki hula dancers.

I tried again to focus using the middle focus point then shifting to recompose my shot.

On my way home, I saw these ducks swimming in the pond and decided to stop to take a few pics.

As I was straightening my glasses, I realized the lens popped out! Having been working on keeping my subjects sharp and in focus, I ended up having to walk home seeing nothing but a blur...
