Fantastic scenery and colors. The 1st one is a good candidate for HDR.

Thanks - I've seen HDR mentioned in other places, but not so sure just what that is. Can someone please let me know? Thanks

What a beautiful place to visit, I've never been there,
but from the looks of these shots it looks amazing.

Gosh this is the sort of scenery you'd expect to find in Hawaii.

Im sure you had a wonderful time in Tahiti, thank you for sharing :thumb
Those fish look pretty friendly :D .... Skippy

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Here's a good tutorial on this subject from the Luminous-Landscape site: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/digital-blending.shtml

This tut discusses HDR using Photomatix software: http://hdr101.com/?page_id=4

French Polynesia has to be our favorite place to go EVER. It's the only place we've visited twice -- although different islands on both trips. Glad you were able to get some great captures (I especially like #3 but didn't see it in your smugmug gallery?)... I hope to bring my DSLR if I'm lucky enough to go back someday.

So which island did you enjoy the most, LIPhotoman? They each have their own unique character but I wish I had spent more time on Rangiroa for the diving.

I've been found out :wink
See you in Santa Fe! :clap



Lou - thanks. I think that Moorea was the most beautiful Island, but Bora Bora was a bit more Photogenic (with the equipment I had with me).

I haven't posted all my pics to SmugMug yet - the one you mentioned was also one of my favs, but someone I know & respect didn't think so highly of it. But then again, since it has now received thumbs up from 3 difft people, the heck with what she says - I'll post it when I can get around to it.

I needed that Tahiti vacation to prepaer myself for the awful family issues I am dealing with right now involvong an ailing mother. As of yesterday, that is consuming too much of my time for me to deal with any photo matters.
