Hawa Hawaii

Sorry for the long break in posts. I was in Maui, the second largest island on Hawaii, during the Thanksgiving break. I think the slowing down of pace that the place infected me with carried on when I came back as well. Here's a small sample of the beauty I came across.

Wow those pics are so marvellous and professionally taken...I was in Honolulu (Oahu) for 2 months (May-June) on a project...It was an experience of a lifetime...made me to decide to settle there someday! It is completely divine...

OMG!! I always thought shots like that sunset and sunrise(?) and for that matter, all the rest, were CGI!!

I loved the panoramas! To quote you, excellent, excellent stuff! Pls put up experiences of the trip as well, no?

Thanks guys. Seems like the sneaky sun wins the photo contest :-) TTG, this was my first trip to Hawaii. I think there are more to follow :-) Extempore, the laziness has taken the wind out of my efforts :-) Pictures will have to suffice. Good to hear nice words from more accomplished photographers than I.

Pictures look awesome Parth! Specially some of them.....they look so FRESH! Always thought Hawaii's invaded by tourists but these speak a lot!

Fantastic photos, especially the panaromic ones. Did you stitch the photos together or did your camera do it for you?
