Hawaiian Sunsets
Today's photos of Hawaiian Sunsets
were taken using Kodachrome 64 slide film in 1980. I think the quality of the
slides is excellent considering they have been stored in my house for 35 years.
Though it's been a long time I still
remember taking the photos. For the first two I was standing on Waikiki Beach
photographing the beauty of the sunset. In those days I carried all my lenses
and two camera bodies so I shot wide, medium and long views. As you can imagine
I changed lenses several times.
The photos with palm trees, as well as those with a model, were taken on a beach
where we attended a luau and were treated to a "traditional" Hawaiian meal and a
great show. As the sun set, I walked closer to the beach and a guy was
photographing his girlfriend in the sunset. I told him I was a photographer and
asked if I could photograph her to make a silhouette and ensured them that she wouldn't be identifiable. They talked it over and agreed so I made a couple of images of her. Afterwards I made several photos of the sun setting behind palm trees and returned for my meal. I was behind a group of people and a couple who were telling a story about a photographer from Canada taking photos of his wife. It was interesting to hear their comments about it.
The photo with buildings and the one of a jet were taken from the balcony of the Holiday Inn on Waikiki Beach. I am not sure if that hotel is still there.
Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.
