Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot at Waimea Bay, on the North Shore of O’ahu.

Time

Early Morning

Lighting

You will see many photos of Waimea Bay but very rare to see the mountains so clear behind.

Equipment

Nikon D850, Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 and processed in Lightroom

Inspiration

It is one of my favorite locations to shoot big waves and got lucky with the clarity.

Editing

Post processing all done in Adobe Lightroom

In my camera bag

Nikon 16-35mm, 70-200mm, 105mm macro, 200-500mm, Sigma 135mm f1.8. All depends what I am photographing.

Feedback

If you shoot the same locations over and over, watch the weather. Go when others do not go. Have fun most of all!
