52 Weeks of Nature – Week 4 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer
Posted on January 24, 2010
This week has a lot of images. The first are from sunrise on Ft. Hase beach here on the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. It was a gorgeous morning. This image is a long exposure of 150 seconds long (2 1/2 minutes!) Not sure I really am happy with it because the effect of the light through the waves in the middle ground. It's interesting though.

I really enjoy the colors in this image of the sun rising over the ocean.

The spotlight effect from this one was really interesting to me. I like the effect in the sun rays, as well.

These next images were actually taken with my Olympus Stylus Tough 8000. In other words, a little point and shoot. These are from a popular hike to the top of the Ko'olau Mountains. This hike kicked my bootie, but I made it to the top in time to see the gorgeous light on the mountains.

This is by far the best view of Pearl Harbor I have ever seen!

More beautiful sun on the Ko'olau Mountains.

Sunrise over the Windward side of Oahu. See that penninsula over in the left side? That is the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, aka my home.

This is a panoramic of 4 images stitched together. Not sure how I'd get this printed as it's a 50×10, but I'd love to have it!

So, don't discount your little Point and Shoot. It can take some pretty good pictures!
Tess, I don't have any words…wow. These are stunning. The first and the last are just so amazing!
