Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at the top of Haleakal? on the island of Maui in Hawaii, New Years Day 2005

Time

Taken at sunrise on New Years Day 2005

Lighting

My wife and I flew into Maui on Dec 31st 2004 and drove in pitch darkness early morning around 4am so we could reach the summit and catch the sunrise at the top of Haleakal?. It was worth it!

Equipment

Nikon 5700

Inspiration

It was a spectacular view of the landscape created by a volcano eons ago. The colors of the land and jagged rock formations were incredible. We were in awe of the sight in front of us.

Editing

Minimal post processing to adjust exposure and colors

In my camera bag

The camera used for this shot is long gone. These days I cary an Olympus mirrorless with a 28-150mm on my trips, a monopod, couple of spare batteries and extra SD card or two.

Feedback

Get up there early and dress warm since it's very windy and chilly at the top of Haleakal?
