Took these the first week I got my new E-300 dual lense kit. Never took these kind of photos before so bare with me.

Some Mauna Loa volcano, not much up there but lava, lots and lots of lavaxzicon_smile_cool.gif

A few from a small boat ramp at Laupahoehoe point, east side of the Big Island.

And one from a small local park.

Thanks for looking, comments welcome. Lots to learnclap.gif

Weather station at about 10,000 feet, last sign of life.

    I like that lava shot but might crop the sky to get the horizon further from the middle and put the bush in the upper L quad

    Thanks for the input. I also have this one that I shot a little tighter at max aperature (for the lense I had on- F5.6) Any better?

    I like the shot of the surf braker......

    The lava shots are difficult..... dark-ish foregrounds and not much to see in the background (sky)....
    I invariably get the horizon tilted, in spite of the help-lines in my camera, but redress them before posting.

    Keep on shooting.. practice makes perfect !! thumb.gif

    These are pretty good Kini! You've got a good eye for composition. thumb.gif

    You may want to invest in a Circular Polarizer filter. It will take your landscape photos to a new level.
