A long exposure I took while also zooming at the same time, of the Swings in motion at the Punahou Carnival. The LEDs created a rainbow kaleidoscope that can only be seen in a long exposure. The happy carnival goers ride a rainbow road in the sky.
This photo was also selected as the cover page in the printed gallery album for Colour.

My photo of a massive 40'+ wave at Waimea Bay took first place! See it in the Winter 2020 issue. I was lucky enough to win a week long trip to San Francisco thanks to Alaska Airlines, Hilton, Leisure Pass, and Aloha Petroleum!

NOAA HAWAIIAN MONK SEAL PHOTO CONTEST, WINNER

Dreaming of Queens
Photo and caption by Sarah Di Bella
The setting sun at Queens beach and a slow shutter speed, combine to create a dreamy effect. I wanted to give the viewer the feeling of bobbing along the water slowly, waiting to catch the next perfect wave.
