Shot during a doors off helicopter flight along the Kohala Sea Cliffs on the big island of Hawaii.
Normally I would shoot landscapes with a higher f-stop for more depth of field and a lower ISO for less noise and better colors. However this was far from a “normal” landscape and I knew this was a rare opportunity and I wanted to lessen the chances of motion blur from shooting out the open door of a helicopter on a windy day so I chose to keep my shutter speeds high, by using lower f-stops, f4 to f5, as opposed to raising my ISO. None of these images were shot above ISO 800 due to my concerns about excess noise and less vibrant colors. If I get the chance to do it again I would raise my ISO higher to allow shooting with higher f-stops, while keeping my shutter speeds high.
