Sunset Waves At Makena

March 4, 2010
Sunset Waves at Makena Cove, Maui, Hawaii

I’d totally forgotten about this shoot from a month ago until Dave Bryson, a vacationing photographer whom I’d met on the beach that day, sent this photo of me. I’ve been busy and never got around to actually looking at these shots after downloading them.
This was one of those busy sunsets where the light changed drastically every [...]

Wispy Makena Sunset, Maui, Hawaii.

Twitter and Flickr friend Andy Beal asked me to participate in the launch of a new site he was putting together called Photogler, where photographers could share how they captured and produced some of their best work. I think it’s a fabulous idea!

Makena, Maui, Hawaii.

I don’t often shoot in the middle of the day because the light is usually too harsh. If I meter for the highlights, the shadows go black, and if I meter for the shadows, the highlights blow out. I looked out the window yesterday though, and saw some nice colors down toward Makena, along with [...]

Last week, I went on a photowalk with a new friend and fellow photographer Meliezza Walker, who is on vacation in Maui with her family. We decided to do another one before she left, but this one turned out to be more of a sunset portrait shoot.
As photographers, we don’t often get to be on [...]

Sunset At Makena Landing

April 27, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve been out shooting a sunset. Strange, I know, since I live in Maui, where there’s an expectation of spectacular sunsets every day. (Oh, the pressure!!)
The truth is this is like anywhere else… you don’t always have one that works, at least through a lens.
The problem I have most of [...]

Makena Sunset

March 14, 2009

I really thought yesterday’s sunset would fizzle, but there was just enough of a break below the cloud layer to make it work. Molokini framed through the tree.
Aloha…
