"Sunglasses ND Filter" I needed to slow down the shutter to shoot a waterfall in Kauai. I mounted a Canon S90 on a GorillaPod and used my Ray Bans as an ND filter.
When you're on vacation and taking pictures in a beautiful place, is it really a "workflow" when you move your pictures from camera to some sort of computer and look at them? What if you're having fun? When it's purely for your enjoyment, could it be called "playflow" instead?
This week I explore a new "playflow" while in Kauai. Instead of bringing a laptop, I took only an iPad. I didn't bring all of my lenses. And in fact, I snapped most of the week's shots with a compact camera. Yet, I was able to review the images, upload to Flickr, post to TDS, and even check my email now and then... but mostly then.
So this week's episode is dedicated to the art of taking a little time off to enjoy family and nature, but still enjoying photography.

And speaking of sunglasses, most sunglass lenses are polarized, meaning you can also use them as a polarizer. (Hold your sunglass up to any LCD screen and rotate them. If they're polarized, the screen will turn black at a certain rotation.)
