Capturing beautiful Hawaii photos
|
Putting together a travel photo album website which includes lots of Hawaii photos is a lot of fun to do. The Big Island of Hawaii certainly deserves its share of photo space due to its incredibly diverse scenic beauty and island attractions.
Beautiful turquoise blue water along the western shoreline of the
Big Island. The underwater visibility is excellent on the west
side of the island.
This is a view of the same beach as above (seen from the opposite side).
If you enjoy taking beach pictures, there are many beautiful spots on the Big Island to photograph. Or perhaps you like to take pictures of waterfalls. The eastern portion of Hawaii has several lush tropical waterfalls to choose from.
This small waterfall was photographed on the east side of the island near Hilo.
Powerful Rainbow Falls cascades down on the east side of the island near Hilo.
Of course, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park offers the rare and unique opportunity to take Hawaii photos which cannot be found on any other Hawaiian island. The photograhs of the Big Island on this site were made back in 1987 (not long after Kilauea began erupting). Very few people were allowed back then to get close enough to the lava flows for good photographs. However, I understand that they have since relaxed the rules some and it is now possible to capture some terrific pictures showing the flowing volcanic lava. I hope to capture some photographs of this awesome spectacle during a future visit to this wonderful island paradise.
There are a number of roads on the Big Island which have been closed due to lava flows. A number of homes have been destroyed as well since Kilauea began erupting in 1983.
The grand northeast coastline of the Big Island features high sea cliffs
with waterfalls cascading down toward the ocean.
The Big Island has a reputation for growing various agricultural crops including macadamia nuts, papaya and coffee. Kona coffee from Hawaii is considered a delicacy by many. Orchids are also grown here - in fact, the Big Island of Hawaii is known as "The Orchid Isle".
The Big Island is famous for growing beautiful orchids.
Many gorgeous tropical flowers can be found in Hawaii.

The Big Island ranks very high when it comes to capturing
beautiful Hawaii photos
on a grand scale. It is definitely worth a long visit.
This is a photograph of my cousin Eric who likes to "live on the edge". This tall sea arch is located along the southern shoreline of Hawaii.
