Sunset and moonrise at Joshua Tree National Park. Experiencing the colour of this sunset was just amazing so I had to take this photo even though there wasn’t really a specific foreground element.

A final few pictures from our Hawaii trip in Jan/Feb. The ‘Respect Kauai’ bench is from up on the Sleeping Giant which was a challenging, if not very long, hike. The sunset picture made it into Explore on Flickr which resulted in it getting almost 60,000 views. That is over 100 times as many as most of my photos get.

Sunset through blinds

The Hawaiian sunset as seen through some roller blinds. I thought this made an interesting perspective and wanted to see if it would work as a photograph. Was able to get a nice starburst effect on the sun thanks to the blinds and small aperture.

Mauna Kea Star Trails

One of my favourite things to make, a star trail shot from Mauna Kea. We only went as far up as the visitor center, then hiked across the road to a spot looking over the valley with the sunset. Spent about an hour with the camera there and ended up with this shot made from seventy 30 second exposures. I was happy to also get the light trails from the cars driving up and down the road, as well as some cool airplane trails which you can see just above where the sunset was.

Here’s another shot of the sailboat that crossed our horizon every evening in Hawaii. This one turned out a lot darker but I really like the colour of the ocean and the silhouette of the boat.

Sailboat at Sunset

My wife and I had the privilege of spending a couple weeks on the big island of Hawaii at the end of January. I took a lot of photos which I will spend the next while editing and posting. Beaches, whales, turtles, fish, lava, a little bit of everything! I also took more videos than usual this time and will be posting some of those on my youtube channel, please subscribe! This photo pretty much speaks for itself and was taken from the balcony of the condo that we were staying in, right on the ocean-front. Before you get too jealous, know that it was a little run-down and had roaches… Still, we were blessed to be able to go there.

At some point on a vacation I end up taking a sunset or sunrise photo that I want to over-process in hdr. For our last Hawaii trip, this was that photo. Certainly a little overdone, but I kinda like how it turned out.
