The midday sun blazed over Waikīkī Beach as I stood on the footpath that would take me to a jetty. Beneath my feet, the golden sand stretched along the beach, while the turquoise sea behind me gently hugged the entirety of Waikīkī Beach. To my left, the Hilton hotel and the towering Honolulu skyline stood tall, while to my right, Diamond Head's iconic silhouette framed the scene.

The beach was alive with activity—swimmers gliding through the water, sun worshippers soaking up the rays, and the vibrant pulse of the city all around me. A young brown-skinned woman caught my eye, chatting with a friend just in front of me. A small but meaningful moment, just one of many. In a 360° shot, the focus is yours to choose—whether it's the bustling beach or the peaceful sea. The sun was high, the weather perfect, and as I captured it all, I knew I had frozen Waikīkī’s spirit in time.
