Ninamu Sunsets

Every evening we had a different looking sky. This is the “donut sunset”.

Sunset with sailboat.

Subtle, subject to change and long lasting.

The two Stephs. We met Tahitian photographer Stéphane Sayer outside the public market in Papeete. He saw our cameras, introduced himself and we talked photo for a bit.

It was great to meet him and a fun encounter. You can check out his photographs @tahitizoom

In the Water

April 1st, 2024 | Comments Off on In the Water

I experimented with a Nikonos underwater camera. It wasn’t entirely successful.
I did get a few dreamy looking photos that have a look and feel I like.

Photographing in the water was a new challenge. It’s a constantly changing scene!

With these photos I was trying to do what photographers call a “split”. Half out of the water and half under water.

This one incorporates a bit of camera motion. Works for me.

Morning panorama. The photo was made from two consecutive frames of 35mm
color film. The jump cut is intentional.

The Island

An evening photo walk in the South Pacific.

As the sun set the scene got better and better.

These photos were shot on film and scanned. I made no Photoshop adjustments.
A South Pacific sunset unaltered.

Next level sunset!

South Pacific Sunset

Looking west from Tahiti. That’s the island of Moorea in the distance.

The same sunset a few minutes later. One of the most colorful sunsets I’ve ever seen!
