Silent Conversations

Silences make the real conversations between friends.

Golden Flight

Two Surfers Walking Home

Two Birds and a Duck

Shot with my 70-200mm with a 1.4x extender. Because I like to shoot wide open landscapes, I don’t use this fine lens enough :( I’ve tried shooting on the opposite side of the creek during sunset with the sun on my back – I much prefer this side of the creek.

My Twilight Zone

Mosquitoes were buzzing all around me and ants were crawling up my legs; yet I couldn’t move because I was hand holding a GND filter in front of the lens. Didn’t want to ruin the shot, I just stood still for the duration of the exposure. Luckily, I only needed a 10 seconds exposure. After the shot, I jumped around like mad, wiping ants off my legs. Three days later, I still have many red spots on my legs – a small price to pay to get the shot.

Sometimes, Mother Nature paints some of the most breathtaking strokes that I’ve ever seen.

This was shot about 20 minutes after the previous photo.

Silent Treatment

Saw these two flirting in a taro field in Hananlei Valley. Swapped out my 17-40mm for my 70-200mm and tried to sneak up on these two. Got a few shots before they took off.
