Lighthaus Camera: Shooting Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner.  I know many of you on Maui will be going down to Front Street to capture the ghouls, ghosts and goblins among other things.  Some great tips can be found by going to the link in this post.  Halloween Tips.

On another note, Lighthaus Camera Lahaina will be doing the photo booth again which was so much fun.  Be sure to stop by the store to get your photos taken with or by the wild and fun Lahaina crew.

Lighthaus Camera: The Tech of Lenses

Have you ever wondered how lenses are made, how they work or how does vibration reduction actually provide stabilization?  In case the Einstein part of your brain needs a little stimulation, check out the video from PetaPixel via Nikon Asia.

A good way to protect your glass is with an UV filter.  To be honest I can't tell the difference between a photo taken with a UV filter and one without but breaking a filter is much easier to deal with than breaking your lens.  We carry two brands of UV filters.  Hoya which is a good quality, multi-coated filter and B+W filters which are the Cadillacs in the filter world.  Lighthaus Camera has four locations across this beautiful state to serve your camera needs.  We have two locations on Maui, one in Oahu and one on the big island.
