Sunsets at Diamond Head are awesome

Believe it or not I was spending another afternoon chained to my desk and text books when I happened to look outside. "Wow, this is looking like it's going to be quite the sunset," I thought to myself.

Photographers tend to refer to the hour before and after sunset as the "golden hour," where the lighting is more or less pretty stellar. For landscape photographers this is where 90% of money is made.

Anyways, I snagged the trusty tripod, camera, my favorite 12-24mm lens, a set of GND filters and took off to the beach. Most of these are at 12mm, f/8 and some where around 10 - 30 seconds. Even had a couple frames where I had to snatch the whole setup off the ground before it was washed away by a rogue wave. Fantastic.
