“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” – Mother Teresa
I stumbled upon this little cave of sorts as I danced between the raindrops on an early morning near Poipu Beach in Kauai. Seems a little larger in this image, but trust me...thats just the lens. To get this, I was hunched over quite a bit in what appeared to be a favorite hangout for a few sea birds. Gulls I guess. The foot prints in there were huge though. I felt a little like I was intruding actually. After taking cover for a little while and just as I started to feel like they just might be watching me in some sort of a territorial way, the sky started to open up just as I was able to capture this. Sometimes you just have to wait for it!

At Emerald Bay
Part of the challange of the capture is to create feeling of being out in the middle of the landscape, off the beaten path, and in a perspective that the average tourist would never get a chance to view the scene from.

This one was however, about 25 steps from the car......

I found this little perch up on the ridge to try to get away from the crowds, absorb the beauty of the scene, and take away a few clicks here and there. (Did I mention it was crowded there?) As timing would have it, it was mid day, not a cloud in the sky, and the lighting was a bit harsh to say the least. Not the perfect conditions that you hope to arrive to a vista like this as a landscape photographer, but I figured I could at least capture a few brackets for a foundation that I could use to create someting out of later.

Sometimes, when I find myself lost with an image....during the processing that is...I save it into a sort of "Ill look at this a little later" file. This one was one of those. After almost deleting it several times, I decided to work a few textures into the scene, painting here and there through layers, to give new life and dimension to the scene.

A work of art?

Not so much....

But the process of creating, learning, and striving to make "better" art is all part of the process....
