Water Play At Sunset, Makena Cove

by Peter Liu on June 7, 2010

There’s something about Makena Cove that lends itself to slow shutter shooting. Every time I go there, I have the urge to capture the movement of the water as it ebbs and flows.

Yesterday evening, I was there with my friend Meliezza Walker, who was visiting from Texas. She’s a portrait shooter but wanted to learn more about landscapes, so I handed her a tripod with a ballhead and we set off for the beach.

We explored some of the nuances of slowing the shutter at various settings to see what changed, then I showed her how to use an ND grad to shoot the sunset. We had a lot of fun.

So who’s up for the next photowalk?
