Pipiwai Trail, Hana, Hawaii
當我在早晨沿著Pipiwai Trail健行，穿過這些令人難以置信的竹林時，對比強烈的光線讓我幾乎無法拍攝。失望之餘，我繼續前往Waimoku Falls。然而，當天稍晚，一場短暫的陣雨掃過，到了下午，柔和均勻的光線為我提供了完美的條件。雨水聚集在竹節中，匯聚成數千個精緻的銀色圓環，陽光創造了美妙的光暈，透過樹冠灑落。這種效果如夢似幻，我真的很想捕捉這個獨特地點的氛圍。被一片搖曳、纖細的竹海完全包圍，感覺超現實，竹子輕輕碰撞時，一種詭異的聲音在我周圍迴盪。在整齊劃一的竹海中，一些交叉的竹莖吸引了我的目光，我以它們為焦點構圖，引導視線，並從低角度拍攝，以強調竹林的深度和密度。
