Oceanscapes and Sunsets

These tropical Ocean hues and beaches of Okinawa are known and admired the World over. Whether photographed in the golden, blue, or sunset hour, they command attention whenever seen.

Kerama Gold

Bathed in the golden glow of a setting sun, the Kerama Islands dance on the horizon. When seen through a telephoto lens they adopt and almost levitating quality, adding to their mystique.

Toguchi Dreaming

Toguchi beach in Yomitan is one of the favored beaches in the southern regions for photographers serving all genres. Whether it's for landscape, family or wedding shoots this is the perfect backdrop for all.

Blood Red Sunset

Under a blood-red sky as the sun sets in Okinawa. The sunset hues are not always this vivid, but when they are they stop most folks dead in their tracks.

Passing Squall at Sunset

Whilst an uninterrupted image of the sunset would have been nice the rain reminds us that it keeps the islands green.

A Sunset of Pastels

I tame the raging seas with a super long exposure, in this case 300sec or 5min. The waters become a silken carpet transporting a sunset of tropical hues.

Brain Coral Beach

Sunset on Okinawa, I was scouring for compositions around Cape Zanpa. Lighthouse aside I was looking for something different, something fresh.

Perpetual Bliss

A thought provoking shallow depth of field photograph of a setting sun from the island of Okinawa, Japan. Gentle ripples of the calm Ocean surface top off this dreamy scenario, perpetual bliss.

liquidmocean

Capturing the motion of the Ocean in landscape imagery is something I normally accomplish with a 1.6sec shutter speed.

Northern Shores

The Rocky shorelines of Okinawa on the Western Coast are dominated by areas such as this, perfect for long exposure photography.

A Sense of Tranquility

ND Filters allow the shooter to transform a rough Ocean into a scene of apparent tranquility by extending shutter speeds and 'ironing' out motion.
