Aulani Resort & Spa in Ko Olina I didn’t stay at this hotel, but I did visit for a few hours one evening to take photos for fun. Tom and I went over here since we heard it was pretty nice. Disney resorts are often built for photography, especially in the dusk hours when there is a cool mixture of natural and artificial light. I’d gladly return to this resort to stay for a few nights! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Swimming Through the Grotto The swimming pool at the Aulani (a Disney hotel) on Oahu is pretty incredible. I only saw the place at night, so I’m not sure how it looks during the day. But it looks like it was designed just so that it would look awesome at night!It’s attached to one of those lazy rivers that bends around this way and that. I do like lazy rivers, but I don’t like all the Disney lifeguards watching me on every bend. What if I want a little lazy-river privacy? Well, I guess there’s no need for that with kids about and such.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Downtown Lights From Afar Tom and I drove up to the top of a dormant volcano to look down on Waikiki late one night. It was a rather long day of being out in the rain and muck — and it was still raining when we arrived here. By this time, my D3X was in serious malfunction mode! I could only get Live View to work, and I had to use that to take photos…. not exactly ideal conditions!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Boat on Oahu BeachYou can drive along the beach for hours and hours in Oahu but miss what is actually there. Often times, there is a row of trees or houses that block the actual beach, but it’s hard to know what is just on the other side!Luckily, Tom and I walked through some of the fauna and found this scene. It was all set up so perfect — and there I was with my camera (which isn’t THAT much of a surprise).- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Rain in the highland cliffsThe rain in Hawaii never seemed to stop!But, the good news was that it kept everything green and glowing with a golden hue in the daytime. There is that kind of “wetness” of a place that is hard to describe. I hope I caught it okay here…Tom and I walked around this farm for a while before we were approached by people working there. They wanted to figure out what the heck we were doing, but once they saw we were just innocent photographers, they let us go ahead and take photos. That was nice… once people figure out that photographers are mostly harmless, they let us have free reign! :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Japanese in the Hawaii And, continuing the theme of Japanese people, here is a couple in Hawaii. I like how they are wearing matching outfits (her dress matches his shirt if you look closely). I had a version of this photo with and without the people in it… and I quite like the one with them in there!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Forever CoastOahu looks like such a small island on the map, but the coast seems to go on for ever and ever! We drove around the island in a counter-clockwise manner and popped out of the car from time to time.To get to this spot in particular, Tom and I had to jump over the guard rail and run out onto a little cliff. It was quite high up, so I didn’t get too close to the edge… but the high perspective helped me to aim down along the coast without needing to show the horizon.- Trey RatcliffRead the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Waterfalls in the Jungle HighlandsHere is an amazing place on Oahu. Right after the rain, a thousand little waterfalls tumble down from the highlands. When I was here, there were record-level storms, which kept the waterfalls full and robust. The shooting conditions were really tough! I have a video of what it was like to get this shot coming up at some point in the near future! :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Disney Temple I put up a photo of a temple in Oahu yesterday, and it occurred to me that this is just another form of the temple… sort of a modern-day worship of spas and relaxation! You can make an argument that, in many ways, this is just as beautiful as those revered buildings of another age…This is the Aulani, a Disney resort on Oahu. Tom and I drove over here to take photos one evening. I didn’t stay here overnight, but I did stay late into the evening to take photos. There’s also a big beach and a ton of cool spots to take photos. I think I pretty much filled up a card with all the photo ops!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
