Hawaii Kauai Kaua'i
"Late Afternoon along the Na Pali Coast" Napali Coast, Kauai
"Late Afternoon along the Na Pali Coast" This is one of my favorite images that is above our fireplace. A collector just purchased a 30" x 45" metal print so I had to re-share since it has been a while. Let me know what you think?! This was the shot I had been looking for - beautiful green wrinkly cliffs, lush blue water with touches of Kauai red dirt in there. Kauai is a special place as my wife and I had our honeymoon there. Ever since we were there, I knew I wanted to go back and bring part of Kauai for my walls here in California. On a follow-up trip to Kauai, I charted a little R22 2 person helicopter for a private charter to get this image. It was so small my son wanted to know where the rest of the helicopter was! (it is really tight in there and I bumped the control stick a few times while being preoccupied with shooting!) It took about 5 reschedules of the helicopter trip to find the right weather conditions while I was in Kauai - that was the image that I had visualized in my head that I wanted. It was either rainy or cloudy along the coast as weather is really unpredictable in Kauai! I finally pulled the trigger. 2 hours of flying back and forth to get the right lighting conditions and it was right! I had two collectors with houses in Kauai who pre-purchased images from the Napali coast before I ever set out! This looks fantastic large on canvas but even better on Metal or my new HD Acrylic Flex mounted images. This was captured a BorrowLenses.com Nikon D3S and Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 lens. This is shot at 1/800 second and f/4.5. You can see the large image here: http://smu.gs/iPfeK7 — with Kauai, borrowlenses and Na Pali Coast.
