Title: Hawaiian Abstracts
Post by: James Clark on March 23, 2015, 11:57:28 am

As I mentioned over here (http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=98693.0), I took a relatively quick trip to Maui for a quick vacation a couple of weeks back.  It wasn't a photography trip, exactly, but I made sure to schedule in a just a bit of time to shoot since I was in a great location :)

As it happened, when I unpacked I found that a screw had come loose from my tripod, leaving one leg unstable under even the slightest force (like water moving around it etc.).  I managed to get a couple of shots (like the one linked) that look ok at web resolution, but the sharpness just isn't there at any usable size.  Luckily I realized this while I was "on location" so I decide to switch things up a little and do a little impressionistic/abstract work.

First image is the base location.  2nd, 3rd and fourth are some vertical pans, using a wave crest as the point of focus, and have to say that I'm very happy with the result.  Hope y'all like them :)

Hi James.

I really like No. 3 don´t know exactly why, but the shapes/colors and the contrast in the photo speaks to me.

Greetings

Thank you :)

David, I like 3 as well - To me, I like the dark/light contrast - it's a bit more dramatic than the other two.

Hi James.

Yes the word more dramatic than the others. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
