Pali Sunrise

Thought I might post some photos from Hawaii just for a change of pace.

By far the windiest spot on the island, the Pali Outlook is one of my favorite locals on Oahu...this particular morning was (not surprisingly) very windy. As I waited for sunrise I had to not only hold down my tripod to keep it from tipping over, but I had to stay low to the ground myself, for fear of being blown off the cliff!

Arca Swiss 4x5
Rodenstock 150mm lens

Gorgeous shot. I am amazed you could do it with 4x5 under those conditions.

Russ,

O' my! This is gorgeous. I can't believe there has not been a comment on this one.

No nits from me and the foreground grass is sweet.

Thanks for sharing
