A 60 second exposure just before sunrise at Wai'anapanapa State Park on Maui. Incredible lava rock formations dive right into the ocean. The long exposure allowed the water to be less busy while also getting some nice movement in the clouds. I chose black and white because I was able to make this into a more high-constrasted scene, making the rocks pop against the water. Also, the color image was pretty flat color-wise to begin with and didn't add anything. Website: Exposurescape.com Instagram: @exposurescape
