Galaxies and Stars above Ka'anapali Beach
Friday, October 19, 2007
This is one of my favorite photos we took from our last trip to Maui.
We lucked out and had a moonless, cloudless night and I grabbed my tripod, Cindy grabbed the beach towels, and we setup right on Ka'anapali Beach next to Black Rock (on the right) and spent about an hour under the stars. It was a wonderful time that night. I had the tripod buried in the sand, set it to a 30 second exposure, and would start the photo. While the shutter was closed, I'd run back to the beach towel and sit with my wife looking skyward in awe of what we were seeing.
Since we always stay at the Sheraton when in Maui, we have gotten used to enjoying many lovely nights walking along Ka'anapali Beach. With this photo and the others we took that night, it takes us right back to those nighttime strolls along the water as if we were there yesterday.
