Foster Botanical Garden, 8/17/2`

Today's tagalongs: Derek, Wes, Gary and Milton S.

My days here are numbered. The movers will be coming on Tuesday, August 31. I will not have my camera and other gears after that. I will be moving to Los Angeles, a new chapter.

This looks like us as we see different things to photograph which is a good thing.

Very interesting...

Although the sun was not shining on us, the humidity got to us. In less than 2 hours, most of us said, "See you next time."

Foster Botanical Garden, 8/3/21

Tagalongs? Today: Derek, Wes, Natalie, Milton S. 

Since my camera was still in black/white, I continued with that. However, when I edit, Lightroom will show color because I am shooting in RAW. Luckily the theme for September's Eyes of Hawaii will be color and black/white of the same photo, I am practicing here with some images.

Also when we go out to photograph, we scatter like cats. However since I will be moving to Los Angeles in mid September, I decided to hang around more with my tagalongs.

It was fun and I will miss our tagalongs. We will try to get together more often before I leave.

Lanikai Sunrise, 7/25/21

Early morning tagalongs (Derek, Wes, Milton S, yours truly), met at 5:45 am. Yours truly realized that she did not bring the correct camera plus this one had hardly any battery left. Luckily,  I had my iPhone 12.

Now my knee is wet.

I wish, I got more photos of this dog jumping in the water.

There were more people, at least 3 groups with their photographers.

The sand is super soft. 

Not happy with how I look, oh well.

I redid my nails yesterday and wanted my friend whose sister owns Cosmic Beauty to see them.

We later had breakfast at Times Restaurant in Kailua along Hamakua Drive. Disappointing: was not much action, no birds in flight except for one duck who flew twice unexpectedly. 

Foster Garden, 7/20/21

Today's tagalongs - besides me, Derek, Wes and Milton S.

I am trying black and white. It is difficult. Although my review on my camera shows black and white photos, I am seeing things in color. Some cameras, I heard you can see in black and white.  

I wish my photos were more black and white. I am still trying. Thanks Wes for doing black and whites.

I noticed Bob has been using a monopod. Today, I used one and now I like using it. I am lame when it comes to using a tripod. Derek and Milton will attest to that - remember me at Koko Head Botanical back in the day.
