Little stars in the sky

End of the week, we drove east side of the island, and decided to relax on the beach to watch the sky. Not the best weather to watch the Milky way, but we had a small window when the sky cleared to showcase the core just above the horizon.

Sunset was about 7pm and around 8pm the Milky way was slowly appearing in the sky. Luckily, the gusty winds helped move the clouds, and the stars were illuminating the dark sky.

On the beach, waiting patiently in the dark away from the city lights… listening to the waves crashing on the shore… a great start to the weekend!

We stayed for about 3 hours…

Mahalo!

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!

Hawaiian Milky Way

Last night, we took a drive to the East Shore of Oahu hoping to get some clear sky. After waiting for a while, the clouds started to move West and got lucky to admire this beautiful night sky.
