Over the summer, I went on a trip to Kauai to photograph the stunning Napali Coast. This was mostly a honeymoon dinner cruise on a yacht, but I was allowed a few moments to photograph the coastline during it which I am very grateful for! The result was one of the most challenging, exciting, and exotic landscape photography experiences I have ever had.
Shooting images doesn’t always result in success. I have been ‘skunked’ plenty of times when shooting. Sunrises and sunsets are never a sure thing. That is what makes getting something incredible all the more awesome when it happens!
Clouds happen a lot in the Pacific Northwest. It is kind of what the place is known for. The coast is notorious for it, and on this evening we were definitely getting plenty of fog that just never lifted during the day. It wasn’t going to be a bad trip because I did stop off for some good food at the Rogue Brewery in Newport, OR. Still, I wanted an image to take home as well.
Not all landscape photography takes place at sunrise and sunset because sometimes you just can't be there then and a 'good enough' image is all you can get!
