Group Photo Walk: Morning Light Waikiki

Group Photo Walk: Morning Light Waikiki

Saturday 11 July
Waikiki - 7am - 2.0 Hours
Jun Tagai
Join photographer Jun Tagai for a morning photo walk in Waikiki. This practice-based workshop focuses on observing the unnoticed: subtle interactions between light, shadow, color, reflections, architecture, and human presence. Through observation rather than instruction, we'll explore how photographs can emerge from curiosity, patience, and attention. All levels welcome.

    I had so much fun; Chinatown is such a rich environment to take photographs. Also it was very interesting to hear and try to apply Jun?s approach to photography. All in all it was a morning well spent.

    Very enjoyable opportunity to learn the philosophy of photography. It helps you understand how you view an object, landscape, flower, etc., based on your desire with regards to the photography you are taking. Jun Tagai was a wonderful instructor, and I hope to get the opportunity to gain more knowledge and one-on-one instruction with Jun in the future.

    It was a lot of fun taking pictures of in a new space and meeting other club members. I really enjoyed hearing the history of the area! The instructor made some good suggestions about different things to look for, different ways of looking at the mundane, and suggestions for how and when to just get out and take pictures.

    Loved the class! Dylan worked with each person at their level. Manoa Falls is a good location. So many opportunities to get different shots. Macro of a leaf, big wide shots, flowers, slow shutter speed of waterfalls!

    I enjoyed event, Hoku was very informative, patient and clear in explanation on use, function and helpful. As a beginner he not only explained the basic functions and use of camera, but it opened up the potential of the camera as a tool for your imagination.

    I was out for a morning walk. I wanted to test the Hasselblad Xpan mode on my One Plus 13 phone. The camera was developed by Hasselblad for the One Plus 13. This photo is unedited.

    Title or Location: Nimitz Beach in Kapolei
    After a stretch of cold and gloomy weather, the day (2/12) suddenly turned out great and was the best excuse to go out for a much needed walk and shutter therapy. I was excited to try some settings for straight-out-of-camera images in a spot I've never been. Checked the time and my bearing and decided to wait for the sunset, hoping it works out. Was pleasantly surprised to say the least and I'm very happy others like it.

    Title or Location: Near Goukdsboro, PA
    Originally showed up at Gouldsboro State Park at sunrise to get a backlit, misty shot of the island but when I got there, NO mist, and enough boats on the lake to walk across!Quickly decided to take a backroad to another favorite spot nearby, and slammed on the brakes as I was driving over a small bridge when I looked to the right and saw THIS scene. Finding it was sheer luck, but as always, just getting out there at first light is half the battle. Made this one standing right on the bridge.
