Yes, so I've heard. What a gorgeous picture! Isn't the one you need to hike into or have a 4 wheel drive? We will get there one way or the other! Thank you!

Kerfree,
I finally was able to download and send a few photos.
I appologize for the poor quality but I think you get the idea.
Have fun taking your own,
Vance

I would love any suggestions you Hawaii residents or travelers have for photography on the Island of Hawaii. And please feel free to post a few of your images here for a little inspiration!
Wisdom you can offer on photographing in Volcanoes National Park and any other favorite spots around the island would be much appreciated! We are flying directly into Kona and will be meandering only the Big Island for two weeks, with just photography and chillin' on the agenda.

It has been many years since I have been to the "Big Island", as over the last several years I have been a regular Maui visitor. What I can tell you about the Big Island of Hawaii is pretty simple. Relax, enjoy, and never ever do anything without your camera. With your stated two weeks there, you will clearly see and find lots of wonderful sights.
By all means, rent a car and take a nice slow drive around the island. An amazing adventure. In fact, I would suggest going up by the Parker Ranch, over the "hump" and into Hilo. Get a room, spend the night in Hilo taking in the night life, getting up the next morning and continue your trip around the island (wonderful black sand beach on this leg - watch out for falling coconuts!). Also, as I recall, there are some very interesting subjects to photograph in and around the older parts of Hilo.
Oh, and if you sign up for a big luau. . .go down early in the day and watch them put the pig in the pit, with the hot stones, etc. Ask about this and just show up with camera in hand. Some great shots of the luau experience that most do not ever see.
Take and use your tripod!
