Nik Photography Cover Photo Selection – April 16, 2014© +Saurabh Paranjape This week's cover photo belongs to +Saurabh Paranjape. Saurabh is an amateur photographer based in Northern California. His fascination with the medium began almost a decade ago, when his parents gifted him a Canon film SLR. Today, photography is his refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life. He shoots primarily landscapes on a Canon 5d Mk II and a Fujifilm X100.

This photo was shot on the shore of Napili Bay in Maui, Hawaii, in the dying twilight. This location is steps away from the resorts that ring the bay, so he had to wait patiently until the large numbers of tourists dotting the frame decided to leave.
