I heard from my friend on vacation that there was black-out, which would've made for a spectacular night sky. Great shots are like great parking spaces... if you're not quick, it's gone!

No I am not kidding. I have no were else seen such beautiful cloud formations that seems so close to viewer at sunsets. I am really curious to know of any scientific explanations. Perhaps placement... Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific well away from the many pollutants, be it natural or man-made. The purity has led NOAA to use Mauna Loa to do it's atmospheric research, from... NASA and other astronomical outlets use Mauna Kea as their research haven, thanks to the superb atmosphere. But then again... it just may be the Hawaiian charm that makes the sunsets so beautiful... I've been out there 4 times this year, myself, chasing sunsets... especially the "green flash". Even when the VOG is hanging tight to the Big Island, the sunsets are phenomenal. 5Dc grip'd * 60D grip'd* 17-40 L * 24-70 L * 70-200 F2.8 IS L
