I shot this in 2019 from a helicopter over the Na Pali Coast on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It was tough to lean out far enough to get the top-down angle for fear of losing my gear. The turquoise water contrasting with the reddish-orange sand really caught my eye.
Shot with a 24-70mm lens (at about 45mm) on a Canon 5D Mark IV. f/9, 1/1600 sec, ISO 640
Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. I used pretty basic editing techniques to achieve the color and lighting. Nothing more than some basic saturation and color adjustments (think pushing blues toward aqua) were used.
