"Fluted"

Shot on Day 1 of the video documentary for aFeinberg Galleries. After picking up BROVADO Weddings (Media) we drove up Waimea Canyon to the Kalalau Overlook and descended Kalepa Ridge...an epic hike that takes you to a spit of land that divides Kalalau and Honopu. Needless to say it offers incredible views.

This was shot just before sunset as the sun was preparing to pop out below the cloud line so it wasnt direct light but instead this bright filtered super sexy light. I isolated this ridges on the north side of the valley as they seemed to jump right out at me.

Look for the documentary to drop June 2012 along with the

OPENING OF aFeinberg Gallery: Princeville at St Regis!!!

Thanks all!

Awesome, as soon as I saw this I thought of Waimea Canyon. When I was there a year or two ago those formations along the canyon walls really interested me too. You've captured them perfectly here. I would love to see this in a large print!

I love the version that is so much smaller!!! I think this is really special Aaron. One of my favs from you. Very marketable I would suppose. Keep rocking! Also keep drinking that Kona coffee and beer! :smile:

Wonderful shapes and textures. At first glance it looks like a hanging tapestry.

Congrats on the gallery and this killer shot. I saw on my iphone and work and had to race home and check this out on a full size monitor but I'm still wanting more! I love how I have no sense of scale here (at least at these small sizes) but I'm sure a LARGE print would give plenty of areas for the eye to wander :toast:

Amazing topography and the trees really add a nice sense of scale. It took me a moment to realize the size of this scene. Great light, too.

This is really nice, Aaron. Really an amazing natural abstract on what appears to be a very large scale.
