So I was in Hawaii for a few days...
 
*Updated* - Finally went through the rest of the pics and picked out some of my favs. It was a trip mainly for my buddy's wedding and the rest of the stuff is just pure bonus :)

By the way, I was not the main photographer at the wedding, we just had a bunch of people with cameras and everyone covered different angles for the couple. There must've been at least 5 different sets of SLRs with different lenses, and from both Nikon and Canon. lol

awesome, looked like a good show

threezero 11-03-2009 01:11 AM

just wondering how far back you sat, did you use a tripod? monopod?

Bonjour43MA 11-03-2009 03:52 PM

hmmm. I was about 7 or 8 rows up (row G), I think.

no tripod/monopod, I took these handheld.

JordanLee 11-03-2009 09:45 PM

Wow sick shots. Taking those handheld is even more amazing! What lens/settings did you use? I took some of these in Maui but had to up the ISO and everything. They didnt turn out this well wow.

BD2002 11-03-2009 09:53 PM

They were taken with a D700 which is pretty good at noise reduction so his ISO could be pretty high if compared to a more entry level DSLR.

Bonjour43MA 11-04-2009 06:05 PM

I was originally going to sit another 10 rows up, but a tour group had canceled their booking so some lower seats were opened up for an extra $10 so... I took up the offer.

The performance was great but it did get a bit long towards the middle part, but the fire dance near the end made up for it.

It was great! I'd recommend anyone that goes there to at least check it out. :)

And yes... the camera really helped with some of the higher ISO shots - in retrospect I probably could've set the shutterspeed even higher to freeze motion even better and etc. Oh well.

Bonjour43MA 11-17-2009 12:09 AM

Loaded up some more pics.... man this rain in Vancouver is driving me nuts. lol wish I was back in Hawaii.

ah well.

I like how your pictures got progressively better haha..the first couple shots were so overly exposed.. then when you get the polynesian..its like WOW awesome stuff. haha

lol yeah. I should probably take out the first pic or two. I think the reason why they were messed up was cuz of the polarizer filter I had used... it's a thicker one that I bought a long long long time ago and it was the first time that I tried using it on a full frame camera - and the result was terrible. Bad vignetting, weird colors, etc.

Took it off after about 15~20 shots as it was actually affecting the image quality and metering accuracy on the camera.

time to shop for a thinner and higher quality CPL, I guess :cry:

I'll leave the pic in as a reminder for ppl that shitty filters = shitty results.
