52 Weeks of Nature-Week 1 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer

Posted on January 7, 2010

Last year I participated in a 365 Project. That is taking one picture each day for a year.  I had a very hard time making it only one picture and so the project ended up consuming loads of my time.  By the last few months of the project, I was so burned out that I just sludged it out to the end.  I was proud of myself for sticking it out, but not really proud of the quality of pictures I was posting.  So, this year I've only committed myself to a weekly post.  More than likely, it'll still contain more than one picture, but I vow that they will of a quality worthy of this site.  I know that by me posting here on my professional blog instead of my personal one I will be forced to keep myself held to a higher quality.  I have decided I'll stick to a main theme of Nature.  To me that means Landscape, Flora, Fauna, Seascape and any interpretation thereof.  I hope that I grow as much in this next year of photography as I did in the last.  Thank you for joining me in this journey.

 

I read about the New Year's Eve Blue Moon a few days before it occurred and felt that this was something I really wanted to capture.  I knew that the Blue Moon only occurs about once every two years but did not realize that a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve only occurs every 19 years or so!  Now, I know that the moon isn't really blue, and there really isn't anything VISUALLY different about the moon but just that knowledge made a difference to me.  So off I went with my tripod in hand to scout out a spot on the world famous Lanikai Beach directly across from the Mokulua Islands.  It was a beautiful moonrise shared by quite a few couples and families.  I was happy to see that I wasn't the only one awed by the beauty and elegance of such a simple thing.
