Renee's Almost a Photo a Day Project :)

Hi everyone... I think that I have time now to post some of my recent images.. With traveling to Wisconsin for a last visit with my Grandmother before she passed away and then my daughter getting college stuffs done and graduation being last nite.. relatives coming to Hawaii arriving in Hawaii for graduation.. Oh and we can not forget about work... I think.. just maybe I will have a little time now. One can always hope.. :) :) :)
This is my DPC entry that ended today so I finally can post it to my blog. I wanted to post it last week but thought better of it.. :) The image is from the Lantern Festival at Ala Moana Beach Park. It is an amazing site. Hundreds of people release these paper lanterns with candles in them to float out in the ocean at sunset. Very touching and totally beautiful. It was a nice evening with little wind and a very nice sunset. The only difficult thing is to try to beat off all of the other hundreds of photographers that come out to this event. WOW.. I had no idea that there were that many people in Honolulu with Canon cameras/gear :) :) :)... It was fun but you had to be willing to get into the salt water with your camera, lens and monopod. Boy was I holding tight to everything.. :) :) Then of course there is the salt removal/clean up after you get home... Salt water does mean things to camera gear... ~Annie~ my mentor/shooting partner :) :) was off on a business trip on the mainland and kept calling me to enter the challenge.. I wasn"t going to enter but then figured OK OK ok ok ok Annie... I will send in an image.. :) :) :) Thanks.... Annie... glad you encouraged me since it is my highest scoring image to date!! :) :) Well,, tomorrow I will be posting a few images from my daughters graduation which took place last nite!! It was awesome.. :) :) Aloha, Renee :)
