what horizon?

Here are a few from our recent trip to the Big Island and Kauai...these are more or less random from about 25 that I really like so far. We had an amazing time. As for gear, I would agree that a CPL is very helpful. I brought EVERYTHING, figuring I didn't want to miss any opportunities, but I don't believe I used anything besides the 24-70 (except for the backup body/lens combo used for beach/water shots). And that was a great $300 spent, both for peace of mind and having something in conditions where I wouldn't have had a camera otherwise.

Sunset in front of our hotel in Kona (seeing it here I notice there were a few spots on the GND filter...).

Road into the clouds on the way from Kona to the volcano national park.

Volcano crater.

Kayakers across from a roadside scenic overlook in Kauai.

Kayakers along the Napali Coast.

Milky Way in front of our hotel in Lihue.

holy crap man, those are some of the best pics i've seen of hawaii yet!--especially the milky way shot. i dunno how you even got the volcano shot--i was there and i didn't have a view where i could see that. where was it taken?--did you actually hike in? looked like they stop most people from getting too close.

that milky way shot is crazy....

Puckerth,
Yes, those are a nice selection. Unless you go back often, I think it's better to bring it all.
Looks heavy on the magenta at Kilauea. Did you stay at the Marriott beach club?

Thank you. That view was from the Jaggar Museum...did you not make it there? We didn't hike much with the little ones.

I agree and was tempted to alter it, but from my recollection that's what it actually looked like so I didn't. Maybe I will revisit that. And we just stayed at the hotel, not the beach club. Although that looks like a great alternative. Do you have experience with it?

I actually probably stood right where you were. I think I was there in the afternoon. looks like the secret was to shoot later, closer to sunset... and it appears the volcano cooperated with you too... lucky . it was flowing when we went, but not nearly as much as in your shot.

I concur! Puckerth great photos. The road the Volano National Park is my favorite, then the one with the milky way!

This is not my image so I will post a link to the image on his website, but this is Kauai based photographer Aaron Feinberg's "Na Pali" from Kauai. 8 shot panorama that blew me away! Once you've seen the Na Pali coast, I think the beauty haunts you!
