Practice makes perfect. This boarder kept trying the 360 spin move over and over. I never saw him complete it successfully.
Random surfer that was practing his moves while surfing in Haleiwa, Oahu on the North shore.
Remebering my last trip to Hawai'i. This shot was taken during sunset at Turtle beach.

Classic shot of the distant moon
The water was boiling around the boat
Going back over some of my Hawai'i pictures. I had totally forgot about working on this photo of Kalapana Kapoho beach drive. A long windy road down to a very beautiful black sand beach.
Italian tourist was feeding the pigeons when it started to rain. The pigeon hitched a ride as the man ran for cover.
Boogie boarder at Makapu'u Beach. Really rough surf this day.
Bright and beautiful end to the day at Turtle beach. With the absence of sea turtles for the season the algae has taken over the beach.
Night time shot of beach along the big Island coast
Not sure what the offical name of this lava tube is. I have seen it called Pele's well. This particular lava tube goes down 10 feet or so. Then it take a right angle out to the sea. Safe to say that if you fall in you won't be getting back out so easy. The constant surging water will more than likely toss you around against the rocky wall. In other words be very careful around this hole.

I shot this image near Anaehoomalu point which is located at the Hilton Waikaloa. I was trying to beat the moonrise so that I could get a shot of the milky way. The lights behind the trees are from the Hilton hotel.

Another angle of Lani lookout. This is looking back towards Hanauma bay which is just around the corner.
Drove out to Kualoa beach park on Oahu to take some night shots while on vacation in Hawai'i.
My first night on vacation in Hawaii. I wanted to get a couple of shots of the beac and the stars, but the clouds said differently
Taken last December on a beach near the Kona airport. The sin was setting on my first night in Hawai'i. I failed to time the water drainning in the lava tube to the left. Instead I got what looked like a bowl full of cotton. I still liked the colors of the sunset.

This close up of the lava looked like a heart to me.
Shooting the milky way comes to an end as the moon rises above the palm trees in Hawai'i
Went down to explore different shots from last trip to Lanai lookout. I liked how the water was caught in the striations of the rock formations.
older photo of Turtle beach during sunset. The green algae is what attracts the sea turtles to this particular stretch of beach, It's like a salad bar to them.
I was anxious to get out and take some pictures on my first night in Hawaii
The tide. Capturing the tide as it spewed from a lava tube. near the Kona airport
While I was waiting for the lava tour boat I went down to the beach to take a few long exposures. The moon was out shining almost as bright as the sun.
The ancient greeting that the ocean and lava have been doing since the beginning of time. The moon hides behind the distant clouds watching the show

A view of the turtle-less beach during sunset.
One of the many lava field sinkholes located along the big island highway. Just for reference the sinkhole in this picture is about 3 buses long by 2 buses wide.

As you can tell things got a little toasty on this trip.
Just got back from a first time experience seeing lava. This picture is a quick edit of the over 400 shots that I took
