Lunar eclipse

On Sunday 05/15/2022, we headed out to Makapu’u area and parked across Sea Life park. On the beach, we were waiting patiently for the moon to rise above the ocean and near the lighthouse facing southeast. A partial blood moon was expected as it started earlier around 6pm below the horizon. Moonrise in Hawaii was after 7pm…

Blended two shots at different exposure.

It was a cool and fun night, mahalo!

Birds over the weekend

Lately, a variety of birds were flying around the backyard. Decided to take some shots of them while they were landing on the neighbors trees.

Japanese White-eye

First Sunrise of 2021

Early morning drive to the east coast, pouring rain and windy along the way! I can’t recall the last time I woke up that early, but it was worth getting the first sunrise of 2021 :D

First time shooting at the Makai Pier, met up with 2 friends and it was great time to catch up during this Pandemic. Now that 2020 is behind, Happy New Year 2021 and best wishes!

Sunrise was about 7am, so we were there on location around 530am.

Long exposure, over 2 min, 6 stop ND, and 3 stop GND filters.

Blue hour…

Light slowly rising in the sky.

Got splashed a few times when the waster hit the log :D

Mahalo!
