View this post on Instagram On my trip to Hawaii with @sonyalpha ~~ This day was such an epic day. We were on our way to another location at the top of a mountain. Our plan was to shoot the view after a hike, however, the rain and heavy clouds made us turn back around and head back down the windy road. .we then remembered another spot on the way down and quickly stopped to see what was up. This shot was taken at our spur of the moment location on the way back down on the mountain. We Quickly stopped at the side of the highway to hike in a little only to find this. I know I say this a lot but when something isn’t working out on your photo excursions… them know that something killer is right around the corner. I don’t get many rainbows where I come from in fact I can’t even recall how many I’ve seen in my entire life… But this one which is technically two rainbows if you can see the second just above the main one which made the perfect frame. #bealphahawaii #bealpha shot using Sony a7rIII 12-24mm lens shot at 16mm ISO 100 1/250 sec at F9 A post shared by GreggJaden (@gjaden) on Jan 31, 2019 at 2:56am PST

Leandro is passionate about travel and it’s easy to see that passion through the photos posted on his account. There’s no doubt he’s living the #BeAlpha lifestyle, with photos from Morocco, Egypt, Iceland, Switzerland and much more.
