p.1 #1 · Hanakapai Beach pt 1 (5.5)

Continuing my series from my hike out to the beach...

The water winded its way to the ocean...and was super rad. If only I was there at sunset :-0

c/c always encouraged!

1

fixed horizon

2

liked the texture in the conversion

3

this was an attempt at a pano (4 shot, square pattern) and didnt work out...but...i feel the shot has a lot of potential

I know a bit much but it would take forever to post these in smaller bunches!

Like #1 and 2a, #5 like the DoF here and comp.

Can I suggest, ND8 filter this would really work well to flatten the ripples in the water.
#1 I thinks need a bit of straightening

Hey Aaron,

Some very interesting shots here! I really like your #1 shot a lot. Great work on the B&W conversion on that one! My other favorite was the last one. What a cool shot with all of those footprints! Man, I have to go try that next time I am at the beach...

The last one works like an optical illusion. If you look at it and look away then look back at it sometimes it will appear to be inverted. The footsteps will look like they are projecting from the sand instead of indented into it.

Hello Aaron,

Good work on the first one. A fine conversion and good sense of flow in the lines. I think you are right about the light. That said, the last one is a hoot - it's how I used to feel when arriving at work and finding way too much to do and not knowing where to start

Hey all!

Good response from everyone and thanks for the crit.

Gavin - Thanks for the notes. I def would like a nd8 filter but no funds...also in this situation I actually prefer the texture of the water for the shot.

Jim - the footprints shot was just serendipitious. I was leaving the cave (shots later) and the low light was making all the footprints pop in the semi soft sand. No idea how many people's feet are there!

thanks all!

Nice series Aaron. How long a hike is it out to that beach and how strenuous on a scale of 1-10?
