A Few from West Coast Oahu

This is up on the west coast, and I can't remember what beach, as we went to the dead end. The beach at the dead end was Yokohama Beach, and we got rained out so moved down the coast about a country block & this was where we landed. We were going to Makua Beach, but it was closed for construction. I loved loved this part of the island, as there were no people. But the group I was with didn't like it much. It is a very homeless side of the island with many homeless compounds & shacks. Still I would have preferred to be there every day and if I ever go back to Oahu that is where I will beach it.

Yokohama Beach




Still West Coast

There was so much more to do on the beaches here than sit. It was gorgeous, no people, plenty of tide pools, little blowholes, crabs etc. I absolutely loved it here.

I may re-edit the last one & add more contrast!

Hawaii is great isn't it? All are good but the first is my favorite.

Yes it is paradise if you can get away from the throngs. I am not much into so many people, that is why I loved this part of the gorgeousness! And the first is my screensaver for now! Thanks Ben

YEAH! Darcy is back!!!!

I like all of these, #3 is the best. I think it looks pretty good, the only thing I would do is pull back the highlights very slightly in the water splash area to add more detail to it. Just a subtle recovery there.

I Like the big vista in the first one. Feels like a postcard shot.

I'll take that compliment, thank you. I just love the 1st shot also!

#1 for me too (I like postcards!). I'm with you on avoiding the crowds - this area sounds great.

I too just got back from a week on Maui and wish I could have stayed longer. I was in the water everyday.
