Previously, I shared part 1 of my Maui series featuring my 35mm C-41 film work. I will continue where I left off for this post, and I encourage you to check out my last post if you like the content here!

In the above shot, I attempted to go for a high key, slightly overexposed look. Ektar 100 is a very versatile film in my opinion, because it can yield really soft shots when overexposed, but also deeply saturated shots when metered center or even slightly underexposed.

This shot was actually taken in Haiku at the Kula botanical garden. Shot at f/1.4, I was able to severely blur the wire bars out of focus to keep from distracting the viewer from the bird.

Here is a shot of Sam. I shot this again with a very wide aperture because I wanted to capture the landscape itself while also capturing him taking a picture. The rule of thirds adds dimension to this shot.

I liked the content of this framing. The mountain in the background adds a nice touch, though the soccer goals can be distracting. I also didn't love the palm trees cutting off on the right side. Overall, the shot is nice though I wish I would have had a little more opportunity to change the framing.

At the botanical gardens, I had a lot of opportunities to shoot various floral configurations. Here is a sharp shot that I liked due to the contrast of the pink flower against the green foliage.

Lastly, this shot showed nice saturation with the red rock anchoring down the left corner. In short, Maui is gorgeous, and if you ever get the chance to visit (not during hurricane season) take it!
