Volume No.6 -- Post No. 10 -- Makaha Surf

We love the west side of Oahu, especially far up the west shore. This part of the island is far from the tons of people in Waikiki. It just feels like authentic Hawaii. For those of us that live here, but didn't grow up here, it feels like you've found a secret welcoming place.  It reminds you of the reasons you decided to make Hawaii your home.

I love to shoot into the sun. For me, the sunlight creates dramatic shadows and silhouettes. There is plenty of sun at Makaha Beach, so it didn't take long to capture these. I hope you like them.

Volume No.6 -- Post No. 9 -- Nikonos Underwater Film Camera

I decided to buy a Nikonos III underwater film camera to join my love of  film and my love of free diving.  The undersea world is such an organic place.  Film seems very at home here.  Below are few of my first shots using Ilford HP5 Plus that I pushed 1 stop.  NO LIGHTMETER!!! Very scary!  I basically used the Sunny 16 Rule for the surface and then subtracted 2 stops for being underwater.  It worked fairly well.  I'm going to try Ilford HP4 next and more exposure.  I'm looking forward to finer grain at 100 ASA.
