Crystalline

 
So way back in 2009 I found myself with some friends hiking inside a fenced off area…as you do on Kauai.  When we got to the edge of this giant cliff the view was spectacular.  Being midday, not generally my favorite time to shoot, I wasnt overly inspired to shoot that much landscape, however from that height looking down on the calm water was pretty impressive!  The way the light and water played made for a crazy color below.  Took a few shots to try and capture the effect and this is what the result was.  Fun!  Now to try it again soon 🙂
 
Thanks!

Oceans Abstract at Polihale

The quality of light this day at Polihale was simply incredible.  Rare storm clouds built out in the distance late morning.  The intense dark clouds acted as an incredible contrast to the illuminated waters closer to shore.  I then abstracted them in the camera and ended up with a couple of good results.  This is one.  Much thanks!
