Totally rained out on Saturday woke up to the sounds of water hitting the ground outside of my window, I didn't have to check to see if it was raining! I checked my phone & my shooting buddy had already texted me to go back to sleep. It's nice to sleep in every once in a while!
By Sunday I was weary as my alarm sounded at 3:45am, I listened for a moment straining my ears to hear the sounds of raindrops...nothing! I staggered up & walked outside into my garage & looked up at the sky, I could see STARS!!! I ran back inside & got ready, grabbed my F-Stop backpack, which was prepacked from Saturday, made my coffee & out the door I went straight to Makapu'u Beach. I was very surprised that as I pull into the parking lot, there were no other cars, only mine?! I would have thought that with the rain out on Saturday every photographer would be out here???
I quickly set up my gear & immediately started to compose & capture the Milky Way. I composited about 3 images to increase the light trails of the cars passing by along the main road near the mountainside.

Aloha a hui hou my friends!
