402 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Laie, Hawaii
In 2021, Tung and I enjoyed a vacation to Hawaii, as many of us in California tend to do!
We chose Oahu, but stuck mainly to the windward side, where we stayed. The hiking was incredible, the sunrises were perfect, the crowds were thinner, and the food was just as delicious! When we weren't taking photos, we pretty much ate our way through the island. (Shout-out to Adela's, some of the best noodles we can remember.)
This beach was just a short drive from our condo. I didn't want to wake up early TOO much on vacation, but this side of the island gets its best light in the morning, so I picked a few days that looked the most promising for golden light on the mountains, and visited various local spots that I'd scouted for photo opportunities.
With low clouds and showers, the weather changes quickly on the windward side. One location may be clouded in, while just a few miles away, there could be an impressive light show. Thankfully, I've chased light full-time for a decade, so, challenge accepted!
This was one of my favorite mornings, standing alone on the beach in the warm morning sunlight, with colorful skies, light on the mountains, the beautiful crescents of sand lit up for miles down the coast. It definitely was Paradise Found. I hope you enjoy it!
