Except the ones you keep mentioning are located in a sound. Not at the sea. Which is why literally every reference lists the cliffs in Hawaii as the highest SEA cliffs.

Yah typically a lens’ sharpest focal point will be in the mid range. Lens’ generally loose sharpness if you open up the aperture to its max as well eg: F/2.8 is not as sharp as F/8. Every lens is a bit different though. The nikkor 14-24 lens I used here is pretty damn sharp from F/5 to F/18. I shot the foreground at F/18 bc I wanted to make sure everything was in focus. I was closer to the foreground than it appears bc it’s a large pano. I could have stopped down a bit more for the sky but the difference between F/8 and F/13 is negligible and I’m not worried about sharpness in the sky. I could also possibly use the sky for parts of the foreground if I get some movement due to wind.

Beautiful shot. I would only recommend toning down the sharpening because it looks very grainy/odd in some places tho.

Where is this?

Just don't visit it during oak pollen season!

I've been here and it was magical. Like you're in a fantasy world. One of the few good things about S.C.

My niece disappeared over those cliffs.

You should absolutely go. They are in desperate need of physicians and they would respect you in a way that most other visitors don’t get to experience. I don’t understand the reasons behind the doctor shortage statewide, but it is intense.

Every source says molokai has the highest sea cliffs in the world. Mitre Peak is higher but maybe more of a peak than a sea cliff?

Not denying it! There isn't really a need to compare them as they are both stunning in their own right. I was just correcting a bit of misinformation. Awesome photo by the way

Yeaaaaaah!!!! That would be a grand fkn time.

There’s hope for humanity yet!

And yet they are not.

The cliffs that all these articles (travel aggregate sites are not good references lol) are talking about are 1,010m high with an average gradient of 55°. The eastern face of Mitre Peak is 1,683m high with an average gradient of 60°. So it is not only taller but steeper as well.

Sorry but they're all wrong. Doesn't matter how many times something is repeated, it doesn't get more correct just because more people say it.

Woah! Great shot. Excellent composition with the foreground and background.

You’re thinking of Niihau, but the description you’re giving is essentially propaganda. Niihau is basically a privately owned feudal system fiefdom. People that make it off the island (usually to Kauai) generally don’t have very nice things to say about it.

Mitre Peak is a large mountain with a large cliff face. But the cliff face doesn’t reach to the summit. Mitre peak’s summit is taller than the Molokai/Kalaupapa cliff faces, but Molokai’s cliff face is taller than Mitre Peak’s cliff face.

You’re correct actually.

Looks like something out of a fairytale

All of the island scenes in Lost were filmed in Oahu. None of it was done on Molokai, not even b-roll type stuff.

I guess you didn't see all the signs about not touching it, heh

Yeah. They have dug their fingers in pretty deep.

With a population in the single digits. When it was decommissioned, there were some people who had spent close to their entire life there and at that point didn’t want to leave. So the government didn’t kick them out and provides basic services. But no one has moved there in decades.

You ever look at that and think: you know what would make a grand time? Walking to the top of that.

Yeah. Me neither
