This is the non-HDR version of a shot taken on the northern point of Kailua bay. This was captured overlooking a natural lava rock pool which nicely reflected the sunset light.

This is the HDR version of a previous shot taken on the northern point of Kailua-Kona Bay. I'm not a big fan of over-cooked HDR and so I tried to make to make the photo as natural as possible, i.e. to capture what the eye sees but the camera cannot...

A rare clear day with dormant Hualalai volcano visible all the way to its peak of 8000 feet. Lavender sunset colors reflected softy off the clouds onto Kailua Bay. My home is just to the left of the white church steeple in the heart of Kailua-Kona.
