When you get to go to Hawaii on vacation it is actually pretty hard to be a photographer. There are so many beautiful scenes to take pictures of and it is incredibly hard to portray the scale of what you are seeing in your photos. Also, sometimes you just want to be on vacation and not cart your really heavy camera and lenses to every hike and beach you go to. My husband and I talked about me deliberately choosing not to take pictures on another vacation we go on. I think it is a good idea, but man it will be hard. While we were in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, I did manage to take some pictures, and yet leave the camera behind some days. (The struggle is real) Here is a sampling from some of the pictures I did get from this magical land of endless sunshine and beaches. 🙂
