I've spent a lot of time outdoors in the nighttime. I've driven a lot of miles in the middle of the night with the moon so bright that sometimes I've just turned off my headlights (when there weren't other cars around) and driven by moonlight. I've always enjoyed hiking by moonlight, and I've been quite surprised by how well you can see, and how much you can see, by the light of the moon and stars. So a couple months ago when I was looking at the dates for our trip to Hawaii I was quite pleased to see that the full moon would occur during our trip. So I spent a few nights wandering around the resort and the beach with my camera and tripod. Here's some of the cool stuff you can see in the middle of the night at the Marriott's Maui Ocean Club.
the view of the pool from our balcony
palm trees leaning out over the beach, lit by tiki torches
a little farther away from the torches
hiding the moon to see the stars
amazing how much color you can see in the dark if you look long enough
the beach melting into the ocean
looking down the beach toward Lahaina
tiki torches + long exposure time = pretty cool
pretty cool how far stars move in 20 seconds
a little time lapse of the moon rising

ah yes....the day time of the night...i bet you could get super cool shots of it here in colorado...
:D
i can't read that phrase without hearing the song. i really really can't.
cool shots, al. i don't think i had seen the tiki torch one. i think my favorite is the melting beach.
(unrelated, but funny: my word verification is "ankles." ha. what if it was "cankles?")
if it had been, I'd be laughing even harder than I am.
Cool pictures! There's a digital photography class at the SWATC in Kanab--I might take it next time around.
