We were privileged to get permission to shoot at the old Koloa Sugar Mill – said to be the first commercially successful sugar mill of Kauai island. Founded in 1898, this was the happening place back then; unfortunately, all there is left now are some abandoned structures. We were told all these will be torn down soon. Locals call this place the ghost town. You can hear all kind of weird noises as the wind howls through the mill. Read more »

DLWS Kauai – ‘Opaeka’a Falls

Day 1 @ DLWS started at ‘Opaeka’a Falls 6 o’clock in the morning. This is truly s spectacular location with steep canyon walls and jungle vegetation. With the correct framing, no one can tell this was taken from a lookout right next to a busy road. Now, someone decided to build a house right on top of the fall; which totally ruins the picture. Thanks to Photoshop, no one seems to mind. The problem for me (a people shooter) was - I got bored really quickly. I can frame the water fall so many ways before I realize it just doesn’t change very much. Read more »
