At anchor in Cook's Bay, Moorea, French Polynesia. The smoke in the background is from burning of palm leaves by the locals.

A fun puzzle, as I added pieces, I kept finding birds and butterflies that I didn't realize were there.

nicole: I love you Milky Way shot. It appears that you 'light painted' the wood chute in the foreground. Great shot.

I use a canon power shot with really good zooming capability. Only thing I don't like about it is on interior shots, color rendition isn't good...but exterior shots it's great. Also, I use the capabilities on the mac where the photos are stored to adjust them before posting. Some are dark, some are crooked, some need more or less color. It really pays to use those capabilities to get the image to look like what you want to show.
