Trip to Kauai, Hawaii

[VFTT]

Hi. Took a hop over to the neighbor island of Kauai with my girlfriend for 4 days. The first few nights we camped on the beach and then on the third night I surprised her with a stay at a resort. Awesome time.

I've always thought that if a photo makes someone want to go where it was taken then it has done it's job. :D Thanks.

I like the second one (in the tent). Do you recall what you focused on? The tent opening or infinity or somewhere in between?

Thanks, I focused on the tent wall, f11 at 10mm so you get a big DOF. See attached image.

Thank. Deletedpenguin is close. It is Polihale beach, which is north of Barking Sands. It is on the West side of the island. You take the asphalt road almost to the end and then turn left at the sign on to a dirt road. The dirt road is in very bad shape and it is like 6+ miles long. It is a long ways. If you drive on that road (or any dirt road in Hawaii) your rental car contract is void and you can put yourself into a financial hole. One piece of advice is that if you do take a rental car down that road and have a problem, call a towing company and not the rental car company. Have the tow truck haul you to a few miles down the asphalt road and then call the rental car company from there.
