I was shooting a longer shot than this image, when I looked at the back of my LCD I saw what the waves were doing on the longer bracketed exposures. I quickly ran up to this spot & composed it so that I could get the waves washing up then receding over the rock on the bottom of the image.

This is 2nd of 2 shots I edited from the same 7 shot bracketed exposures. Basically 2 exposures of the same shot with 2 different feel to the image. Let me know which one you like better.

Until next time, A Hui Hou! via Facebook Pages http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/101710493215308

CHARCOAL DREAMS

CHARCOAL DREAM

Returned to Makapuu Beach this past Sunday hoping for a better sunrise that last weeks sunless sunrise! This was about 30 minutes prior to sunrise, long exposure blend 2 images. What caught my eye again was the textures in the water & rocks that reminded me of charcoal. I fell in love with the tonal range after processing it in NIK Silver Efx Pro. Feedback always welcome…good or bad. via Facebook Pages http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/101710493215308

RYTHEM OF THE WAVES

On our way back across the sandy shores of Makapu’u Beach I stood & watched the wave wash up onto the shore, trying to find the “sweet” spot to dig my tripod into the sand.

Always love how there’s so much texture in the water as it washes up & recedes back into the ocean. For this image I love how the textures of the water & the sky play with each other. Feedback…good or bad, always welcome.

Until tomorrow, A Hui Ho my friends! via Facebook Pages http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/101710493215308

05.12.13Longing for the perfect sunrise…not on on Sunday! loved the dramatic clouds but the sun was MIA this past Sunday! I got couple nice long exposure shots, not the best but I’ll take whatever God presents to me on any day shooting Just getting out there is half the fun!I’ve been thinking about this for a while now & I need your feedback. I wanted to start making free hi rez pictures to download of my sunrise shots for your desktop background. LMK what you think.

Until next time…A Hui Ho, my friends! via Facebook Pages http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/101710493215308

WAITING FOR A BREAK

WAITING FOR A BREAK
05.11.13

This weekends sunrise adventure turned out to be a bust…almost!

Saturday, I knew I wanted to shoot at Makapuu Beach, but was looking for a “new” angle. I got there early but instead of driving down to the beach side parking lot, I pulled over on the top of the main road, Kalanianaole Hwy. Stepping out to look around to shoot I turned to see on the horizon a massive BLOB of rain clouds! Sunrise was at 5:55am, I waited patiently…6am…6:05am…6:10, NOTHING! The rain clouds were too thick, no color, no light…so sad!

I saw my friend on the beach shooting, I texted him & asked if he wanted to go grab breakfast. While waiting for him I packed up my gear turned on the radio & just happened to glance back to the horizon a there a was a small break in the clouds with the ray of the sun shining down & lighting up the surface of the sea! RAN out of the car & grabbed my gears & set up on the opposite side of the road to capture this…Hope you like it, I think I got my different angle! Need to keep the creative juices flowing!

Until next time, A Hui Ho my friends!

Sunday was a repeat of Saturday without a break! BTW I still need to fix a few more things in this image…I’m my worst critic! via Facebook Pages http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/101710493215308
