Fire in Maui



On June 8th, a brush fire broke out in the West Maui Mountains. Strong winds caused the fire to spread and by evening the fire had consumed over 2000 acres and threatened the Maui wind farm.

After the sun set, the sky had an erie glow, so I grabbed my camera and went to Sugar Beach. I needed a high Fstop for depth of field, and a slow shutter to capture the glow. So I set the camera at F8 and F11 and used shutter speeds of 15-20 seconds.

My friend Peter also created photos of the fire.
