Sunsets seen from Maui, Hawaii can be stunning and I am always on the lookout. I decided to scout some beach POVs well prior to sunset. Since the day was largely overcast, I was not overly optimistic. However this scene really spoke to me and I instantly saw it in B&W. Hope you enjoy!
Photo was taken by our daughter.

This Niash Maui board was begging for someone to take it out for a spin but in the meantime I was really lucky to be able to shoot it as the sun was setting. The light was really pretty.

1.6-second exposure @F16 with ND grads 0.9 + 0.75 (I used a longish exposure to show the unusual flowing movement.) This length of exposure often results in cottony and messy looking water, so you have to make sure that all the water is flowing smoothly in order to obtain good results.

This red sand beach is just outside of Hana and is rather difficult to get to at high tide, especially in the dark before sunrise. The old path was
washed away by a landslide and the waves at high tide make it difficult to run across the beaches between waves. But high tide is needed for the
waves to wash over the rocks you see here. I moved around until I positioned the sun in the corner to act as a spotlight on the rest of the scene.
The rocks really are that red and the red sand to the left is even redder. I will add that image later.

I've got about 70 images of Maui that I finally finished editing just a week ago (I visited the island last summer). In honor of that, here's a Maui Postapalooza.
I assume its still there its been awhile but, when I would go to Maui I always went thru the hole in the wall to take a few pictures.
Maui was a lovely little cat with a gentle disposition, we miss her very much. 105 mm, f/4 micro Nikkor manual focus lens.
Maui was one of four cats from the same litter that we loved for nearly 16 years. Sadly, on 11/12/20 our little sweetheart passed over Rainbow Bridge, Matty, one of her brothers, had preceded her in June. Manual focus 50mm, 1.8, Olympus Zuiko lens on Canon SL1.

Not really sunset "yet". This photo was taken about an hour before sunset, which I photographed at another beach further south along the southwest coast of Maui.
I've been creating more videos lately, but sadly, they're too large for uploading to Flickr.
I'm deep in the editing phase of creating my latest video.
It's called "Tropical Paradise" and is a mix of video footage and still images taken in Hawai'i over the past three years on my trips there. (I also hope to make it back to Maui and Kaua'i in a few weeks)
The video I finished making before "Tropical Paradise" is "Christmas Tides" which can be viewed on YouTube.

As with "Christmas Tides", I'm using a lot of video footage interspersed with my still photos. I'm doing something a little different, since I upgraded my computer last month, and these RAM crunching programs I use are acting a lot smoother, and creating is less frustrating, and more creative. 😊
For the pans across my photos, I'm looking for ways to "expand" the image. I can crop and move horizontally, or "into" the photo to make shots look like they're moving, but the aspect ratio of Tropical Paradise is a bit wider than my photos.
This particular photo has never been processed before, and is a view more to the right of another photo I have processed and posted in the past, showing the area to the left. I'm going to merge them into a "panorama" so the camera will be able to pan across a wider expanse. Since I'm working with it, I thought I'd post it on my social media feeds.
Maui, seen here in her younger days, was one of two calicoes in a four cat litter that we loved for nearly 16 years.
I saw these hibiscus growing beside the Hilo Hattie parking lot in Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
Maui and her sister, Mollie, were two Calicos in a litter of four that we loved for nearly 16 years.
It's Maui Monday! We took this picture as our ship was pushing away from the harbor and about to begin its 5 day trip across the Pacific and back to the continental US. Maui was a beautiful place to visit with gorgeous mountains, crystal blue waters, and fantastic snorkeling. We hope to return some day soon!
