Hawaii, The Road to Hana

In just 52 miles of the road to Hana, you get to drive through some of the world's most beautifulest place on Earth and possibly in the universe. The road was very narrow and winding, over 50 bridges here and there, and more than 600 curves to swaddle your way through. In all, it took us a little over 4-5 hours to get through the entire journey all around the Island of Maui. Here's a few shots highlighting the trip.

1/18 - Maui Sunset Triptych

Cliche, cliche, cliche is probably the first word that came to your mind when you see these photos. But yeah, I gotta have at least ONE sunset photo somewhere from Hawaii!

But I thought I'd try something different. I set up my camera on a tripod, then took three different photos approximately 20 minutes apart of the exact same subject.

It's amazing to see how much the colors and the environment can change in just little time based on the sunset. 

Taken at approximately 6:40 P.M. 

Taken at approximately 7:00 P.M.

1/18 - West Maui Hana Highway

Hello everybody!

I'm sure some of you have already seen a few selections of my photos from my trip to Hawaii on Facebook. Most of them were taken with the iPhone and a few from my actual camera. But for this blog post, I'll post the pictures that I took with my 'real' camera, haha.

My first full day here on Maui, the family and I headed out and drove on the Hana Highway around Western Maui, just taking in the sights. To be honest here, a few places reminded me of Lake Superior, haha, but later in the week, the family and I will check out Eastern Maui, with all of the mountains and waterfalls and such.

Here's just a few selections from the day. The first few photos are from the area where my family and I are staying at. The last half or so are from the Hana Highway. Other photos will be up in a later post.
