Caves and cliffs and waterfalls

Captain Ted took us into our first cave of the day just past yesterdays waterfall. You can see our wake coming out of the cave area near center making a great contrast with the blue water and rugged cliffs. This image was taken with an SD850 IS with an exposure of 1/400 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.

Na Pali waterfall

One of many waterfalls along the Na Pali coast plunges into a debris covered beach at the base of the rugged fractured cliffs. This image was taken at 1/400 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.

Captain Ted

We went on a Zodiac tour of the Na Pali coast on June 7 run by Captain Andy's Zodiac tours out of Port Allen. Our tour guide and skipper was Captain Ted shown in this image. This image was taken with an SD850IS with an exposure of 1/320 seconds at f/8, ISO 80 at 5.8mm focal length.

Champagne cruise

As Capt. Ted joked on our Zodiac cruise the day after I took this picture, these Catamaran cruises along the Na Pali Coast are often called the "Champagne Cruise". This Catamaran, the "Lucky Lady" is heading toward the spectacular Na Pali Coast. The ride is pretty easy on these boats compared to the Disney ride we had on the Zodiac. But we got to go into some sea caves and these cruises don't. BTW, if you zoom in, you'll see some of Frank's favorite ocean scenary.... ;-) This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an expsoure of 1/500 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400 with a circular polarizer.
