Northshore Wakeup: Maui, Hawaii

See this LARGER.

 

It is currently pouring rain here in California, and days like this make me shuffle through my Hawaii photographs! Ahhh Maui...

 

This is just around the corner from Ho'okipa Beach, the famous surfing and windsurfing area on the Northshore of Maui. This shot was after the good colors of the sunrise, so I shot facing west for a bit before heading back up the hill.

 

This was my first time using ND grads after deciding to give landscape photography a go. After that, I was hooked! I never realized what a difference graduated neutral density filters made. I can't imagine shooting sunrise/sets without them now.
