I recently spent a week on Maui and our resort hotel had an awesome infinity pool. I was hoping not to have to do any HDR on this trip and stick to my grad ND filters but in order to get a good reflection for this picture I could not really use the filter set. I took this shot at the serenity pool of the Wailea Marriott on Maui, Hawaii. The first night that I arrived the skies were perfectly clear but thankfully the clouds rolled in the second day to make for much more interesting pictures.

This picture was taken at Waianapanapa beach near Hana on Maui, HI. One of the few black sand beaches in Hawaii.

Mana Kai is a resort on the West shores of the island of Maui, in Kihei, Hawaii. Every night, at sunset, the conch shell horn is blown to say goodbye to the day, and hello to the night. I shot this long exposure at this moment, in a high dynamic range way. Hope you like it. Mahalo!

Taken moments after a previous submission (Kapalua Sunset), this shows that the best colors in the sky are often after the Sun has disappeared.

Maui provides countless spots to capture amazing scenes.
