Thanks to those who commented on my Maui waterfalls. I recognize that many, if not most, serious photographers favor long exposures when shooting streams and waterfalls. The effect is certainly appealing and artistic. For some reason, I have always favored short exposures because those images look more like what my eye sees. I also like the patterns and textures falling water reveals when captured in short exposures. Different strokes . . . .
In any event, some of these images required that I stand in the middle of a narrow one-lane bridge, leaving little time to set up, as the Road to Hana has local traffic as well as quite a few tourist vans and rental cars, some driven by visitors of questionable ability. For those not familiar with it, the infamous "Hana Highway" is a 64.4 mile-long (103.6 km) stretch of Hawaii Routes 36 and 360 that connects Kahului to the town of Hana in east Maui. Although Hana is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, an uninterrupted car-trip takes about 2.5 hours to drive, since the highway is very windy, narrow, and passes over 59 bridges, of which 46 are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along the Route, almost all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910. The return trip, along the "backside of Maui," is like driving over a narrow dirt and gravel washboard. It is not really dangerous, but can be somewhat exhausting. I hit takes an additional 40 minutes getting to Kahului from where we stay, and another 40 getting back There is much to see and photograph, and I make the trip once every 3-5 years.
