The sunset was beautiful, and we got an up-close and personal show with a group of dolphins. They were literally just feet from where we were standing. You can see four of them here, but there were at least 5, maybe 6 of them that we could see. It was amazing.

Here was the set-up. That's Kim in the pink pants, Heather in the skirt, and Carrie next to Heather. We were at a great little spot accessible via the Montage Resort.
Here's an example of light painting with a "torch" (that's what they call a flashlight in Australia). My settings were f/3.5, 1.6 second exposure, ISO 200 on a tripod. Next time, I'll go with a longer exposure and maybe have someone write their name or something. At least I know how to do it now, the possibilities are endless (colored lights, sparklers, glow sticks)!

9 I love hearing from you!:
I did light painting without even knowing what I was doing one fourth of July with sparklers...really cool effect!
Looks like ya'll had fun!
Love the light painting shots!! That beach shot with all the gear set up is classic, definetly my kind of beach scene!!
Very cool! I tried light painting and it didn't work out so well for me. I can't wait to try again! Great shots!
It looks like you guys had a great time! Those painting with light shots are super cool!
