EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Kenrockwell comments on Canon 6d

I enjoy reading his no frills reviews. He's very clear on what he likes and what he thinks is important. Good stuff. This is an interesting review I think.

Cut the guy some slack. He's just trying to make a living like everyone else. At least he's not some wall street crook making billions while sending the nation into recession with mortgage fraud. Sure, he's opinionated (like most of us) and whether he's wrong or not, he occasionally makes some interesting points and causes one to think. If you really dislike his website, you don't have to read it

Landscape / Re: Shooting locations in O'ahu.

Depends on what you like to shoot. Anywhere around Waikiki is good for sunsets...you can get sailboats  in the shot. Maybe do some research with a good guidebook before the trip for some ideas of what might interest you. Hula show/luau..whale watching boat tour off Waikiki..Polynesian Cultural center (expensive and takes most of a day)...Bishop museum..Pali lookout..Diamond Head hike up to overlook..Punchbowl National cemetery (overlooks Honolulu)...Hanauma Bay. Some of the Waikiki hotels have beautiful grounds (Hilton Hawaiian Village is particularly photogenic with flora and fauna). Mostly just have a good time and enjoy yourself. Postcards often outdo any photos that the average tourist takes . Hawaii has some crime just like any other place so don't leave valuables in your rental car/trunk (high cost of living causes some to supplement their income by lifting other peoples valuables). Not a huge problem but does happen. And the winter is the rainy season in Hawaii. Post some of your photos when you get back. Hope you have a great trip.

You're right! I remember that they originally got a bad copy (de-centered or bad AFMA or something?) and some astronauts had to go up and fix it (still under warranty I think)

Well said . Like you stated, it wasn't your reply's content that was wrong (even an amateur like me knew the difference between IS modes 1 and 2), but the way it was stated. I think the reason this forum is so good is that most of the photogs with experience and expertise share that knowledge and skill with what we call the "aloha" spirit in Hawaii. In other words, in a positive and constructive manner. I look forward to more of your posts in the future.

To get us moooooving...

Going forward, just to help someone from having to dig through Exif info of the pics posted, please include basic info like what lens was used and the aperture at the minimum and if appropriate for the shot, the shutter speed and iso would be nice.

Eh, if someone wants to know they can ask and I'll tell them.

Nice cow shot...I was wondering what did you use to capture that and also for PP..any use of HDR? Thanks for any reply. I really enjoy your work.
