Even on vacations, you are still photo-work!

Excellent as always Paul.

I saw the 12-24, 16 and 45; did you use any other lenses? Does the 16 justify its presence there? Isn't the 12-24 cover you for wide? or is it the size and the f-stops something to consider?

I know you have a lot of equipment, why you took the NX500 with you? In the future you see the a6300 replace this camera?

I love the 45mm by the way, I see it as an NX 85 1.4f LT edition (aka 45mm 1.8f and 1/3 of the price/size/weight!), very unique lens among the small NX system.

Thanks for the kind words! I haven't fully tested the A6300 yet. I was using the Rokinon 12.2 NX up at the summit to play around with. Many of the pictures are with my camera in my trail running pack. I run over 40-80 miles a week on trails So I need something small that will fit. The 12-24 is an amazing lens just a bit big to fit in my pack lol

That's 10 miles plus a day. I use to be a cross country runner. My shoes would only last a few months max. Then I started getting knee pain. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I've recently switched over to crossfit and that's been working out for me. I now have muscle than I ever imagined to be possible for me. In truth,  I'm just there because I love the high endurance workouts.

I love the pictures. Thinking I'll need to get out of these box gyms and do some more exploring.

Most my long runs are on the weekend Get some good trail running shoes! I run 50k, 50 milers and 100 milers I did Western States 100 the last two years the injuries I end with are sore legs and rolled ankles lol. I did MMA for 12 years now that I am 40 years old I enjoy the trails much more!

Good looking stuff man, although the fact that it’s supposed to SNOW here in Minnesota tonight makes me jealous!

I go back and forth sometimes I like more dull pics with a film look and sometimes I like to punch the colors

Wonderful photos, brilliant colours and beautiful locations..  My favourite is the 3rd photo because there's just something special about being above the clouds, especially with the road leading up to it.

I was thinking of getting an NX500 to replace my NX300 as my travel and street camera but no EVF bugs me (for street) and I don't think I want to put more money into the NX system...

Excellent shots Paul!  I am less than 30 days from being in Maui so thanks for giving me a glimpse of what I will see.  I will also be spending a week on Kauai which I hear is really beautiful as well.  Thanks again for posting!!
