Not sure how well this works. I should have maybe tried an HDR, but the people and the ship were moving around and maybe I couldn’t have done it. Click the picture to see a larger version. I like how there is something “happening” everywhere in the frame.
This is a magical place to swim. From this little island in Hilo Bay you can see sun set over Mauna Kea, the lights come up in Hilo, and the cruise ship all lit up leaving port. Once we saw a monk seal playing around the area.
Here is where Andreas would link to Night Swimming on YouTube.

Eric: I think that this would have been a entirely different feel if you used HDR. As it is, I like it! It has a definite night feel to it. I like the person in the moonlight as well as the ship off in the distance. Lots of things happening.

Eric, this is sadism, pure sadism. We have around -6 degrees here. Celsius, but still

What can I say Andreas, I cannot apologize for my latitude. If it’s any consolation, we are having a bit of vog (volcanic haze) right now, but I have to admit the weather is beautiful otherwise. Do you have snow? There is none here except in the mountains.

Yup, we have a tiny bit of snow – no beautiful cover, just an annoyance. Guess I should make use of it anyway

Time for snow pictures!

Hehe, it may go away today, but at the moment (it’s early morning) we have snow and fog. Try to beat that for non-photogenic weather

[...] for this image. Eric Jeschke made me do it. Over on his blog he posted an entry called “Night Swimming“. Pure sadism and needless showing off, if you ask [...]
