This one I converted to black and white since there wasn’t a whole lot of colour going on in the original anyway. Someone on Flickr suggested this one looked like an alien slime creature.

Another rock, another splash

Here’s some more closeup wave-on-rock action. I think next time I try something like this I will attempt to find a flatter beach. This one was sloping down a fair bit, so my background is all white water. It might be nice if I could see farther past the rock in the shot, and that also might allow me to use a smaller aperture and get a bit more of the splash in better focus.

Seafoam meets rock

The ocean is great on a grand scale, but sometimes the details can be very interesting. I’d seen a few images where the photographer had zoomed in on the edge of the incoming wave like this and wanted to try it out myself. Within a fairly short time I was able to get a few photos that I was pretty happy with. This is definitely something I will do again as every shot will be different. Shallow depth of field and fast shutter speed are key in this type of shot.

This was our first full day at Turtle Bay resort on Oahu’s north shore, so we decided to take it easy and just enjoy the area. First we did some snorkeling in Kuilima Cove, which was fun. We had an underwater camera, but unfortunately none of the shots really came out well enough to bother sharing. It was a nice beach so we also spent some time just relaxing there. Later we wanted to hang out in the pool bar area which was a great place to watch the sun set over the waves. I got a few good wave shots and also a few of a couple of guys that were surfing in Turtle Bay. I thought the guy in the one shot looked like he was emulating the pose from classic Bigfoot photo from way back.

Day 3 in Oahu we decided to do a little exploring so we hopped in the Camaro convertible we rented and headed west. We had no particular destination in mind and were in no hurry, so we stopped at various lookouts and beaches along the way. One place we actually did want to stop was Hanauma Bay, but guess what? It’s closed on Tuesdays. So that was kind of a bummer, but there were some other nice places we saw. As we rounded the north shore and started south again there was a huge backup in traffic. We figured everyone must have been heading down to Pearl Harbor for Veteran’s Day, so we bailed out and took the scenic way back again.
