Ho'okipa Maui - first upload | Travel and Landscape Photos | Photo Forum

Dale, yup wife just got me the nikon for christmas. The shot was taken with the kit lens. Already saving up for some new glass though. I will probably do a lot of landscape/seascape stuff out here in Maui. Any suggestions on what type of lens i may want to look into? This is Maui, and this is our winter weather. Yeah I know, its pretty rough here.

Mandrake, i think your floor is tilted, that horizon is perfect. JK, i’ll make sure to keep an eye on that just for you.

Oksana, thanks for the heads up. And thanks for the tutorial vids and this awesome forum!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I hope to be submitting my pictures often.

Thanks for the input monkey.

I’m never sure what kind of filter to purchase/use. There are so many! But i can see how the ND filter would help.

I shot this around 5pm. Just before sunset but not quite within that golden hour. The sun would be left of the frame, which is why its brighter there.one of the dificulties i had with this area was that there was sort of a haze or mist caused by the saltwater and rough sea. This caused a few of my photos to look over exposed as the sunlight illuminated that haze. This photo i didn’t edit much except taking the exposure down because of this.

I’m in learning mode so im still adapting to these little things that can affect the outcome.

I thought about doing some slow shutter shots in this area, but i didnt have my tripod handy, and i wasnt able to keep too still navigating the rocks on the shore and trying to avoid the waves from sweeping me into the ocean. But i kinda like the still shots i got since it captures the splash of the wave as well as some surfers in the background.
