Very nice. Love the blue sky. Did you expose for the sky and use flash?
Thank you! No flash in these, all available light. The really blue sky in the photos come out of the camera like that using tweaked out picture style settings. I pretty much live on the landscape picture styles (not sure if Nikon has this), which produce rich blues and lively greens. I also made it a point to shoot at 90 degree angles to the sun. The sky is always more blue in those directions. I also bumped the sat in LR a bit to get it just a bit more blue. It's almost too blue...if you look closely on a few you can see the "bands" in the sky. I ran a heavy gaussian blur on the sky to get rid of it on most, which in turn made the clouds really whispy (just so happen to stumble upon that cool little trick I'll be using from now on!)
At one point though, the clouds came over and the entire scene was very evenly lit...was so magical for them!
We rolled some video, and underwater video and shoudl be up pretty soon...behind the scenes type stuff.
