Description Taken from a helicopter tour in Kauai, Hawaii. I wish I could give you a sense of scale as everything was huge!

Post Processing:
20% HDR mixed with original RAW files.
Slightly boosted saturation.
Levels, Contrast, and Sharpening.

I re-submitted this photo. The original can be found Here

The first submission was definitely overworked.
Sometimes less gives you more.

I love all your Kauai photos - takes me back to my one visit a long time ago! Looks like you had similar weather on your helicopter tour - we couldn't even go along the Na Pali coast. Thanks for the beautiful views and memories!

Man alive! I didn't like Hawaii because all I ever saw in the photos were beach settings. But now that I see this... It's almost a top priority now for me to view Hawaii in this new way. Thank you for taking a picture of this.

I feel like I'm looking straight down but straight ahead at the same time.

"Taken from a helicopter tour in Kauai, Hawaii."

How did you take 4 different exposures while you were in a helicopter? Didn't the helicopter move?

If yes, why are the combined images are not blured?


By the way this photo is wonderful!

ChimpyJay In reply to McMichi [2007-07-19 02:36:58 +0000 UTC]

I understand your question. This is a single RAW file converted to 4 different exposures in Photoshop.
Thank you and I appreciate your interest.

Ahhh ok ... then you have very good managed the problem with the image noise. Every time when I try to shoot a photo with one RAW file I had always the problem with the image noise
