One of the best parts about Kailua Beach, Hawaii is watching the sun rise each morning
with the dramatic colors. Because the light is changing fast, it's a bit of
a challenge photographically as one has to be constantly adjusting the
exposure, plus balancing some off-camera flash for portraits with the
beautiful background.
