Penning Photography Daily

From our 25th Wedding Anniversary vacation in 2003.

Taken with my dearly beloved Olympus C2100UZ, taken from me before it’s time by a sticky-fingered airport employee (can you tell I still miss it?).

This is one of the windiest places that we visited while on the garden island of Kauai. I really had to hold onto my hat just walking around!

The lighthouse is known as the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian islands. It is built on a narrow outcrop of the island, accessed by a narrow road.

My imagination took me on a trip, seeing what it might be like in the midst of a tropical storm. It seems to have weathered the elements well.

I re-cropped the original photograph with a 16 by 9 ratio to give it a cinematic feel. I also played around with saturation, contrast, and added a layer of Gaussian blur with about 46% of Multiply effect for that layer (simulating the Oorton Effect).

I like the result.

I loved our trip there.

We’d go again and plan on doing so!
