I have to admit that this is not the photo I was going for on that day. I was visiting the island of Maui in Hawaii and I had planned to spend the sunset hour at one of the beaches of the west side of the island, for obvious reasons! I picked Ka'anapali beach which is the main beach of Lahaina. The sky was cloudy, I had my tripod and my ND filter with me so I was ready for a few spectacular long exposures. Well, as we say in Greek "I counted without the hotel owner" (meaning I planned without taking into consideration of other facts like ... the wind!!). So it was so windy that all the clouds were completely gone by like 30 minutes before sunset so I was left on the beach not knowing what to shoot. Unfortunately, it was a sandy beach so I couldn't go for misty waters.. and then the idea of a ghost ship popped up in my mind as a little earlier I was listening one of the songs from Pirates of the Carribbean Soundtrack (yes yes, I know, Hawaii is not in the Caribbean!). Those 2 are catamarans full of tourists coming back from a sunset cruise. I think I prefer the sunset I saw from the beach! :)
And here is the song that inspired me for this photo
DJ Tiesto - He is a pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean)
