Soaring above the NaPali Coast, the Opening Act plays out and the magnificent tropical paradise of Kauai is revealed. I shot this on a doors off helicopter tour with Jack Harter Helicopters (https://www.helicopters-kauai.com/)

Using a 24-70 with a pretty fast shutter speed, I was able to capture a sharp image while keeping the rotors of the helicopter out of the frame.  It’s surprisingly difficult shooting in a doors helicopter , as you’re strapped in so tight it’s hard to rotate, and anything that goes past the hull of the aircraft get’s pummeled by wind. 

I loved it.
