B-Roll

A videographer from Taiwan's EBC News shoots b-roll video of planes taking off from HNL's "Reef Runway" during the 2024 RIMPAC exercises, and he's waiting for this Delta Air Lines Boeing 767 to taxi past, as jet fighters were lining up to take off.

B-Roll is a TV production term for extra footage shot that will be added to a live or pre-recorded news report, sports broadcast, or feature piece.

Silence Of Night

Hau‘oli Makahiki Hou! Happy New Year!

This photo was taken from Maunalani Heights, overlooking Palolo Valley and metro Honolulu, at 2:30A. It was extremely quiet above the city. A rain cell is blowing out of Mānoa Valley.

I took this photo after my dad passed away about 2 hours earlier. After I got the call, I went up to talk with the nurses, and wait for the mortuary to pick him up. That took a while, and one of the nurses said I could sit out on the lanai. I spent time in prayer, listening to praise and worship music, while enjoying the cool breeze, and felt God's peace.
