On the shore of Secret Cove Beach in Maui, a place that isn’t much of a secret anymore, I set up for a long exposure as the evening light softened. With a 90-second exposure, the ocean turned smooth and misty, giving the scene a quiet, dreamlike feel. The palms moved gently in the breeze, blurring just enough to add to the ethereal mood. The whole moment felt calm and serene, a peaceful pause on a beach that’s usually anything but.
