Taking in the View

Waikiki main beach this way --->

<--- Aquarium this way.

Our boys taking in the view.

the clouds & perspective are great-looks HDR-ish!

$Taking in the View by /\ltus.$

While I was off to the Doctor getting some antibiotics and *strong* painkillers for my Swimmer's (surfer's) Ear, Chizuko and the boys strolled down Waikiki Beach to visit the Aquarium at the other end.

I like this shot in so many ways; proving yet again that my wife is the superior photographer in the family! I'm just handy with Photoshop and hardly did any tweaking to this, as the original is spot on with the composition, lighting, and color.

Non-HDR shot of our two boys taking in the view at the Southern end of Waikiki Beach.

Hawaii.

Photographer: Lovely wife Chizuko.

Much appreciated everyone!

My (our) photostream is actually about 1/10 her photos. As 99% of the photos we publish are for Family-only we decided to keep everything on one stream so as to keep the timeline of the pics seamless for family-member viewing. This is why I try posting everything in chronological order as much as possible. I do and will continue to make a few of hers public though given that she is better than me ;-)
