I received a very warm welcome my first evening in Hanalei, a sunset that seemed to keep getting better and better for over an hour.

New on 500px : Stormy Na Pali by silentgphotography by silentgphotography

Another shot of Na Pali Coast taken from ol’ Captain Andy’s romantic, sunset dinner cruise.

I have to say, folks on board were NOT ready for this type of weather, but when it cleared up we were in sunset, rainbow paradise.

I have so many frames of this section of Na Pali from the Pacific, so thought I’d go with some of my favorite workflow using VSCO filters.

New on 500px : Breaking Through by dthompson by dthompson

The Inyo Mountains come to life as sunrise light breaks through the clouds to the east on a remote playa in Death Valley, California.

One of the most surreal moments that I’ve had in my photography journey. The howls of the coyotes in the distance was amazing.

OBVIOUSLY needs to be viewed on black…

Not a whole lot to say here. Up early to go fly, and I woke up missing my friends. Taken on an adventure with the world’s best buddies and volcano photographers Bruce Omori and Tom Kuali’i of Extreme Exposure Photography in Hawaii. A morning Ryan and I will NEVER forget.

McWay Falls, Big Sur, California

While waiting for the Milky Way to rise a couple weeks ago I decided to play with some star trails–not usually my cup of tea but thought it was the perfect opportunity to let the D800E I was borrowing do its thing while I was sprawled out on the ground, listening to the crashing waves and watching for shooting stars.

Every now and then I like these shorter star trails, and once the Milky Way rose the 45 minutes dedicated to this shot was enough. I feel night photography is often even more open-ended than general landscape work, and sometimes I embrace the hell out of light pollution. A large boat was making its way north and added the warm glow, the Milky Way rose in the middle of the trails on the left and because of personal taste I use really cold white balances when shooting the night sky–it just happens to fit into my work flow. And I think it added to this wanna-be-Alex-Grey-esque psychedelic scene.

My favorite tree found in my favorite area in Paso Robles Wine Country. I’m jonesin’ for the Milky Way to start coming out earlier to shoot at this location again.

I was zoomed in at 70mm on this, thus the really high ISO to keep my shutter speed as fast as possible.
