P DAVIS' photostream  

I'm actively looking to improve so feel free to critique. One thing I know that would have helped would have been to shoot at an aperture of 5.6 or more to get more of the water in focus.

Strobist Info:
Shot in manual mode using an SU 800 to trigger all flashes

SB 600 & SB 800 flashes placed on both sides and slightly behind her, set to graze the
sides of her face and body - no modifiers

SB 900 camera left to provide fill light - no modifier

This is is a 10 shot panorama taken at an overlook west of the Hanalei bridge. I think some of these fields have been used in movies to recreate rice fields in Vietnam. Whether that's true or not what struck me was how lush and green everything is compared to the desert environment I live in.

This monk seal was taking a nap on Glass Beach in Kauai, Hawaii. Occasionally when a big wave would wash over him and he'd crack open an eye.

We came upon this sea turtle at Turtle Beach (of all things) in Oahu. He'd move a little bit occasionally but you got the idea that the effort was just too much.
