Pictures from Maui (for your viewing pleasure!)

Well, I just got back from a 10 night stay at the Grand Wailea Resort and Spa in Maui :) And being an amateur photographer, I jumped at the chance to take some pictures. So... I actually took over 300 pictures... but I went through my album and picked the best I could find and uploaded them... so here are a few :) (All are in link form because they are HUGE image files, so that you all can get the best viewing experience)

It was like a dream being there, seriously! (I wish I could successfully lucid dream so I could go back!)

Sadly, since I don't have a night camera, I couldn't capture pictures of when the full moon lit up the night sky. (there were rays on the water like in the sunset pictures, and you could clearly see kao'olawe (the island from across the ocean that you can see in the room view pictures))

Glad you like my pictures though :)

I'm surprised the quality of the pictures is so low, considering you're shooting with a D80. Still fairly good pictures though. I do find photos of these "island paradises" to be very generic and boring.

how is the quality low? (i mean maybe for the pictures taken from the plane, since I was shooting through a dirty plane window) ... but the pictures look pretty HD on my 24" HD desktop screen.

It just looks very unsharp in some of the pictures. Did you do any post processing, or are you just getting JPEGs right off your camera?

I just uploaded the images straight from the camera to Iphoto and then to photobucket. (could it be something with photobucket?)
