If you like flowers, sea scape, waterfalls, and unique trees, the hawiian tropical botanical gardens north of Helfo. Spent over three hours, and filled two chips with photos.

My wife and I just spent 4 weeks over there and we returned home last night.
Great trip, especially on the Hilo side including the volcano.
Watch for the clearest weather to be there.
Night shots of the volcano were great.
I would send some photos but can't figure out how.

I applied for a teaching job in Hawaii way back when and didn't get it. To bad, sounds like you needed me ;)

Thank you iamsteven, the gardens sound like they deserve several visits! Will bring extra chips and may leave my husband back at the beach so I don't drive him crazy!

Not leaning at all. The pilot tends to travel in a serpentine path so the copter tilts and you get some fab shots. Just an FYI, your strapped in solidly but you can twist to the side and your told to strap the camera to your wrist, like we wouldn't know to do that already. There is no feelings of falling as the g forces keep you soundly in your seat. I was a little nervous too at the start but realized within a couple of minutes this was one of the best choices I have made in my life. Hint: high shutter speeds required as you can be travelling at 120 MPH and it doesn't feel like it. That and a telephoto lens requires speeds of 1/500 :thumbup: will give you the satisfaction you are hoping for. Also, NO CHANGING :thumbdown: lenses on the fly, pun intended.

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.

Green Sand Beach is pretty cool-
