I just got back from the island of Kauai, Hawaii. I took over 2000+ photos over a few weeks, and wanted to post a few quickly for friends and family.  This is just a taste and hopefully when I get time to sift through them all, more will come.  Enjoy.

I have a nice routine for processing my photos now. I use Nikon's transfer software, and add my tags to the metadata. Open in Lightroom 3 and adjust, convert, whatever.

For HDR's I use Lightroom and sync settings and save as 16bit .tiff. From there I open in Photomatix Pro 3, Merge, and export as .tiff. Open again in Lightroom, adjust, and save as .jpeg.
