We don’t have snow here in Oahu during the winter, we have huge waves! \u00a0Winter storms kick up the ocean and they create some pretty large waves on the North Shore of Oahu. \u00a0 Every year, there’s always the chance for 20 to 30 foot high waves that are so high, the ground will rumble when they\u00a0come\u00a0crashing on the shore. \u00a0 Traffic during this time of the year to the North Shore, from surf competitions, and tourist, will be higher than normal, especially on weekends. \u00a0So be a little mentally prepared, and time your travel time accordingly. \u00a0If you book with me, I’ll help you with that.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the waves can get too big, and they can wash up over the highway, and even they can force closures of beaches. \u00a0Sometimes, very rarely though, the waves have been too large and too choppy for professional surf competitions. \u00a0As they say…”Pretty gnarly dude!”<\/p>\n
Fighting the traffic, in my opinion, is well worth it. \u00a0 Check out the pics!<\/p>\n
Taking pictures with big waves requires a bit of skill from the photographer and the couple. \u00a0There’s a little danger involved, because we are getting somewhat close to the waves. \u00a0You have to get close, but not too close, and time your photo session in the “danger zone” during each time the wave retreats back into the ocean. \u00a0And like everything, timing is everything, so you’ll need to be patient. \u00a0Big waves don’t photograph that big in photos. \u00a0It’s because the couple is closer to the camera than the waves. \u00a0 Trust me, they are much more massive that what the photos lead on to be. \u00a0 Those waves are the perfect backdrops!<\/p>\n
