Maui Sunset Molikai

Maui Sunset Molikai

Another fine evening on Napili Beach, Maui, Hawaii. The island in the distance is Molokai. I am sure they experience many such sunsets, but this was one of the finest I had seen during my three weeks on this beach. Initially I wanted to use my telephoto on the sailboat to achieve a large sun setting behind but, as the sunset progressed I noticed the towering columns of clouds above the whole scene. I then switched to my wide angle to more completely capture the scene.

Taken handheld with a Mamyia 645 camera with Ektachrome Professional slide film. Scanned with a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED film scanner.

Details: Taken handheld with a Mamyia 645 medium-format single-lens reflex mounted with a handgrip. Lens: 45mm focused on infinity. Exposure likely at 60th of a second at f 5.6 apeture. Media: Kodak 120 VPS color negative film. Date: August 1979. full exif

other sizes: small medium original
