Love, Light & Luck
These shots took about 20 minutes to set up with multiple cameras and safety concerns.
The tide was low for this “leap of faith” with boulders just below the surface – just like marriage. The bright Kona sun was coming up fast behind her, causing an unwelcome blast to my lens. I got low on the opposite cliff face to shield my lens. I knew I only had moments to climb down, get set up, take a breath and start the count down 3-2-1-go.
We had to get it right the first time, with the light on her face and she had to look in control, as compared to screaming in panic with a wedding dress wrapped around her neck. The hair, the make up, the dress, the light all had to be perfect: you only get one try, I knew my Canons could handle 12 frames a second so what could go wrong? Well someone else yelled “go” before I was set and ready….. As you can see everything worked out pretty good. We got lucky.
Happy Hump Day!
