Stars fade before sunrise at Rialto Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington. Looks best on black.

You never know when you’re on the cusp of something great.

New on 500px : Sun Setting on a Dream by brianhiltz by brianhiltz

This was the final sunset of what seemed like a dream, that is, living on Kauai for five months. It was only after returning home to Texas, that I finally awoke from the dream. It was the sea that spoke to me in this dream, and I quietly listened to what she had to say. It was if I was drifting between dream and reality, never quite sure what was real. And now I wonder, without these images, would I believe I was there, could I prove to myself that this paradise existed…

For those who are curious, this location is near Queen’s Bath on the north shore of Kauai.

Thanks for looking!

New on 500px : Find Me at Lumahai by brianhiltz by brianhiltz

One of my favorite places in Kauai is Lumahai Beach, also called Kahalahala on this side of the beach. This area is so dynamic, that in the five months I spent on the island, the landscape looked completely different every time I went there. The ocean moves so much sand, that rocks ten feet tall that might have been visible one day, are gone the following month.

This particular shot requires high surf to send the waves rolling over the lava shelf, and when a big one comes it’s quite the adrenaline rush.

I made this image using a Canon 5D Mark II and 17-40, utilizing a 3-stop GND to help balance out the sky, and a 4-stop ND to slow the exposure down for the water movement.

Thanks for looking!

New on 500px : San Francisco Pier 14 by cstout21 by cstout21

This is a shot from Pier 14 in San Francisco. There are so many piers in San Francisco that offer great views of downtown, and of the Bay Bridge, and this is one of them. The only problem is this one closes down , and at a some what early time so its tough sometimes to get photos without anyone in them.

500px Editors’ Choice : Desolation by caseymac

Black sand beaches make amazing contrast with the white ocean including this one near Shelter Cove, California. I knew I wanted a figure in the scene to provide a little more contrast and break the smooth curve of the surf. What better way than to grab my surfboard and head to the beach myself. A self-timer remote capturing one shot every 2 seconds made this easy.

New on 500px : Sunset and Barrels by brianhiltz by brianhiltz

Watching the beautiful sunsets and waves barreling in from the north shore of Kauai never got old. This particular spot was north of Ke’e Beach in Ha’ena State Park.
