Sunset Part 2

Mt. Tantalus is a great place to visit while in Oahu, Hawaii.  My husband and I have been to this location on two occasions already as seen from the last two weeks of my blogs.  The first visit to Mt. Tantalus was at sunset and we stopped off and photographed at the park, but was asked to leave shortly after that because of closing time.  We decided to see if we could find another lookout that would look west so that we could attempt to get some sunset pictures.  We drove all the way around the mountain and finally found a turn off, which was not a lookout but we decided to set up for a couple of hours and photograph from that point to get another perspective.  From where we were we were able to see the airport, Punch Bowl Crater, and downtown Honolulu.  I hope you enjoy the pictures and be sure to leave a comment.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunset in Hawaii

I always like to help where I can, and now I am finally getting to do that.  Last Wednesday I got the chance to help a young lady with her photography.  We started out by getting to know the camera and then walked around the block to photograph what drew her eye most.  After spending a little bit of time with her I realized that I would love to get a small group of fellow photographers (professional or hobbyist) together to photograph around the beautiful island of Oahu.  We could visit one new place once a week and I would be there to guide you and teach you a little of my knowledge of principles and elements of design as well as getting to know your camera.  If that is something of interest to anyone please feel free to call me 561 312-5327 or email me kellie@reimagephoto.com.

On a side note I... I also put myself on little assignments every week to keep my eye fresh and my heart open.  Last night we drove to Round top Dr, on the way up there, there are many switchbacks and uphil climbs and the road is narrow.  When you get there the view is just spectacular.  We arrived just as the sun was setting and there was a fairly large crowd of people admiring the beauty of nature.  We will be heading back to photograph the sunset at another time and was unable to get photographs of the setting sun last night.  We did however hang around for a bit after everyone left and we hung out and watch the lights from the city start to turn on and how the day turned into night and then we got kicked out.  The park is very specific to its 6:45pm closing time.  Thank you to Laura who pointed us to the lookout spot and park.  Enjoy!! These are 3 of my favorites from this shoot.

giving back

   So confusing why my home town almost had snow, I thought we are in a global warming crisis.  So does that mean we get colder winters and warmer summers?  Seeing steam rising from an ocean is something you don't see every day in Florida.  Hawaii has beautiful warm weather with a slight breeze to keep you cool while your hiking.  I woke up this morning and thought it was cold when it was in the high 60's haha.  It is funny how you body adapts to it's surroundings.
   I have started to teach photography and I am thinking about starting a Photography club on base to be able to give hands on training.  This is one aspect in my life that I have not yet experienced and I would like to help other achieve their goals and dreams in life, and it all starts with a plan.
   Thank you to Jeanine and her family for being so warm and accepting.  I have a few of my favorite pictures from our shoot on Sunday.  Thank you for letting me capture your family's portraits.
   Back in December, my husband surprised me with a photo session and I have  a couple of my favorites pictures from that day below
   The studio is almost up and running just need to figure out where to take all of the garbage we accumulated from moving.  There are boxes in a stack almost the height over my garage.  help!  haha.

Happy 4th Birthday Carter & Cason

 

"once in a blue moon"

"Once in a blue moon" now I know what that phrase means. Below you will find pictures of the blue moon that was on December 31st (New Year's Eve).  A blue moon is not really blue in color the term just means a 2nd full moon to fall in one calendar month.  We had our first full moon in the beginning of December which allowed another full moon to come at the end of the month.  The moon rising was a spectacular site to see on top of a mountain looking down into the valley of the city of Kilua and looking out east to the ocean as the moon began to rise into the clouds.   Enjoy mine and my husband's pictures our first orange-blue moon while living in Hawaii.
