Hawaii is not only one of the world's top vacation destinations, it is also one of the most photographed places in the world. Today's cameras, whether they are standard 35mm or of the digital variety, make taking great pictures easier than ever. There are, however, some things to keep in mind when you take photos in Hawaii.
In this article we'll offer you our thoughts for taking photos in Hawaii that you will treasure for a lifetime, and which will bring back fond memories of your Hawaii experience.

Whenever I travel to Hawaii I seem to carry more electronic equipment than clothes. On many trips I carry at least two 35mm cameras, a panoramic camera, a digital camera and a video camera. Each type of camera offers you the opportunity to take different types of photos. We'll take a look at what you can do with each type.
I also carry lots of film, tapes for my video camera, lenses, filters, disks for my digital camera, spare batteries and battery charger and a tripod. There are reasons for all of these extra items, which we'll discuss.
Lastly, I'll also share some tips to make sure that you bring back great photos of your vacation in Hawaii.
I have had excellent success in Hawaii using two fully-automatic 35mm auto focus lens-shutter cameras. The first is an Olympus Super Zoom 3000 with a 38-110 mm f/3.8-8.1 lens. The second is a Samsung AF Zoom 1050 with a 38-105 mm f/4-10.5 lens.
These types of cameras offer totally worry-free photography. You just choose your subject, zoom and shoot. In most cases the photos turn out beautifully. In fact, most of the photos in our Hawaii Photo Gallery were taken with these two cameras.

The drawback of a camera of this type is that you cannot use any type of filter, and you do not have the ability to do any manual setting of speed and light.
