Photographers are no Batman, but most have their very own “bat cave” to experiment with new equipment and techniques.

It’s official I’m back from my trip to Maui. The weather was rather stormy making landscape work challenging, but it was a peak season for Humpback whales sightings. Approximately 10,000 whales were congregating between Maui, Lanai and Moloka’i. The whales are the star attraction this time of year and have become the focus of a lot of ecotourism activities.
