Out on the coastline of Kohala I set up to shoot the water washing over the shelf line that was just below the water. I was fascinated by how the water was rushing off of the shelf in unison and the way that I wanted to capture this moment was through a slow shutter. Slowing the shutter down I knew that the water would seem as if it were caressing the rocks in a silky flow while enhancing the colors and creating motion.

Below is a video of the tidal surge over the shelf in which I took a moment of to create the shot.
