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.

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.

New on 500px : The Show II by silentgphotography by silentgphotography

As everyone and their dog posted images from Winter Solstice at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur I thought after the initial post I’d space mine as much as possible….but it’s not easy. When you see something this spectacular and have a hundred images you want to work on, it’s a test of will-power to be patient.

After the Big Sur fire in December the road to Pfeiffer was closed, but a local resident got a few of us in through a back road. Look at that sand. Not a single footprint. After this experience I’m not sure I’ll be shooting here at Solstice for many years to come, but it’s still my favorite beach on earth.
