  • Pacific Sunset

    Pacific Sunset

    The one sunset that I really managed to get to shoot was on our first night in Hawaii, when I noticed from about one mile away, that these breakwaters might be kind of interesting. Well worth the half hour work from the hotel. Oahu, 2018.

  • Pacific Swell

    Pacific Swell

    There had been a storm off New Zealand that had sent 11 second period swell waves all the way across the Pacific to Hawaii, and this was the result; overtopping of the breakwater in Honolulu. 2018.

  • Pacific Surf

    Pacific Surf

    The surfers were out for the big swell waves hitting the Hawaiian coast and the sunset just made the scene all the more worthwhile the half hour walk to get to this breakwater. 2018.

  • Hawaii Resort

    Hawaii Resort

    A long exposure of the resort of Waikiki, looking out towards the Pacific Ocean from the Hawaiian island of Oahu. 2018.

  • Oahu and the Pacific

  • Waikiki Landscape

    This is Waikiki, a built up area south of Honolulu, home to a bunch of high rise hotels on the magnificent (but engineered) Pacific coast beach. 2018.

  • Southern Oahu

    Looking south from peak of the Diamond Head crater towards the Pacific coast headlands on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. 2018.

  • Waikiki Beach

    Waikiki Beach

    I just love the color of the water in Hawaii. Of course it's all because of the reflectivity of the sand as much as the cleanliness of the water, but it just makes for idyllic conditions for a summer holiday. Hawaii, 2018.

  • Polynesian Luau

    Polynesian Luau

    A really great Polynesian Luau, the performance was fantastic, but the rest of the event was ore forgettable. Oahu, 2018.

  • Hawaii Luau

    Hawaii Luau

    Really enjoyed this Hawaiian Luau at the Hilton Grand Village resort in Waikiki, Oahu. Performances were fantastic, but the food and the trimmings, not so much. 2018.

  • Waikiki Luau

    Waikiki Luau

    Some of the performances in this Waikiki Luau were really top notch, particularly this woman was alway very graceful in every move. 2018.

  • Luau Queen

    Luau Queen

    I'd fully recommend a Luau if you visit Hawaii, but it would've been better if it had been a little more traditional in terms of the setting, rather than on the roof of a car park. The performances, though, were fantastic. 2018.

  • Pearl Harbor

    Pearl Harbor

    The view of the USS Arizona's grave, from the bridge of the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor - two vessels that bookended the United States' involvement in the Second World War. Hawaii, 2018.

  • USS Arizona Memorial

    USS Arizona Memorial

    The USS Arizona Memorial, inaccessible at present, but still a poignant reminder that so many people lost their lives in the attack which precipitated the US involvement in WWII. Pearl Harbor, 2018.

  • Waikiki Beach

    Waikiki Beach

    The sun starts to set on the Waikiki Beach near the Hilton resort. A nice, safe, little stretch of the beach protected somewhat by a nearshore reef, but still with some nice waves for the children to play in. 2018.

  • Waikiki Palms

    Waikiki Palms

    f/3.5 and 1/8000s exposure was enough to produce this nice colourful silhouette of the palm trees lining the lagoon at the Hilton Grand Village resort in Waikiki, Hawaii. 2018.

  • Hawaii Palm

    Hawaii Palm

    A lonely palm tree (actually one of many out of shot) on the beach at Waikiki on Oahu, taken at sunset near the Hilton resort. 2018.

  • Hilo Bay

    Hilo Bay

    Hilo Bay, from my perspective it seems that it being on the "rainy side" of Hawaii is the biggest feature of the landscape. I was only there for one night, though, so maybe I wasn't being fair..... 2018.

  • Hilo Bay Games

    Hilo Bay Games

    Once being the rainy side of the island, the sun dos come out and the kids get the chance to soak up the sunshine and jump off this masonry tower. Hilo Bay, Hawaii. 2018.

  • Banyan Tree

    Banyan Tree

    The Banyan Trees, which i thought was an Indian Restaurant back home, are very common in Hawaii. They are very impressive and I did manage to convince my son they were called "ghost trees". Just for fun. Hilo, Hawaii, 2018.

  • Hilo Cove

    Hilo Cove

    Assumed this was a freshwater cove on the coast in Hilo, Hawaii, but it did look absolutely idyllic. The greenery and the hint of blue sky made for such a magnificent sight. 2018.

  • Hilo Waves

    Hilo Waves

    I just love the big Pacific waves, even when they break and disappear on the lava shorelines; the blue hue is just mesmerizing. 2018.

  • Pacific Waves Onomea

    Pacific Waves Onomea

    I really wanted a shot of the powerful Pacific ocean waves crashing in on the Hawaii shoreline, and it took a long walk down a steep slope to get it in Onomea Bay.

  • Lave Nightscape

    Lave Nightscape

    The Kīlauea's eruption, was characterized by variable vent locations, creating a lava trail that stretched to the ocean. This night shot showed the lava flows lighting top the night sky on Hawaii, in the village of Pohao. 2018

    Not sure what this tree is called, but its sweeping canopy is very distinctive and appears very common in Hawaii. 2018.
