In the past few years there has been alot of talk about HDR (high dynamic range) photography.
To be honest, I didn’t like much of what I saw, lots of over saturated,
cartoony looking stuff that just did not float my boat.
I also started seeing some cool stuff from FB friends / photographers that got my attention,
Randy Jay Braun , Shayla Middleton , Matt Kurvin , Lance Kinney and others.
I had tried using PhotoShop, but was not impress with my results.
I decided to give Photomatix a try and became an instant fan.
HDR is the processing of multiple exposures of the same subject,
blending those images using the correctly exposed parts of each image,
allowing for a much more detailed image.
The blend of images can be anywhere from photographic to surreal,
depending on the photographer / artists desire.
I am hooked :)
While I still take and use photo journalistic technics in much of my photography,
I am having fun with this process and hope you like it too!

With each new swell at Peahi the bar is raised, new heroes are made and reputations are solidified!
These two days had far less crowds, with many amazing rides and wipeouts!
There was a mix of Paddle-in, Tow-in, Windsurfing, Kite surfing, Stand up boarding, all sharing the lineup pretty well :)
Click on any picture to go to the gallery of the day :)

Training days at Peahi are smaller days producing waves in the 15-25 foot face range.
There are allot of new faces and these days see some learning faster than others.

Albee Layer setting the standard…
Most of the surfers are paddling from the shore.
This means climbing down a cliff and doing the rock dance.
Nakoa DeCoite and Francisco Porcella split a peak.

5am and the bouy has been reading around 16 feet 17 seconds all night. finally after a slow start, Peahi (Jaws) is on!
It is raining and the road is very muddy and the surfers are standing in the dark, listening to the sound of huge surf.
20-30 foot Hawaiian reveals itself as we climb down the slippery cliff to the rocks below.
These images represent the crazy abandonment of the 30+ paddle-in surfers who took on these massive waves.
The rain cleared but the wind remained, as a historic surfing session filled the day. A nother level have been broken!
Enjoy a few shots here and click on any picture to go the the full gallery!
Dave Wassel’s XXL contender!
Tyler Larronde was one of the young guns charging!
Shane Dorian was a standout as usual,
taking off some of the biggest waves of the day and pulling into barrels like this!
The lefts were macking as well! Rider: Kohl Christensen
