Vacation photo adventure

Time to share my photographs from the Island of Kauai. A first with my new Fuji cameras. I recently purchased a Fuji XT-2 with the following lenses. The wonderful 18-55mm proves to be an exceptional kit lens. I added the 10-24mm f4 for landscapes, and the 55-200mm for getting up close and personal with nature. My last purchase was the prime lens 35mm f1.4 for its low light capabilities, and small size. Armed with my Fuji x100F for street photography I was prepared for all occasions.

My goal was not to be hauling equipment that was too heavy to handle. I bought a Kipling bag that I modified with padding to keep my equipment protected.  I packed my lightweight Rick Steve’s backpack in my suitcase. I also purchased some inexpensive neoprene lens cases so that I can safely throw individual lenses into the backpack. I brought along my Mac Pro in its Think Tank Bag. I usually only travel with my iPad, but my friends planned to use their computers in the evenings. Anyway the Think Tank bag helped me stay organized during my travels.

The first day was one of travels, and we arrived at the Lihue Airport at about the same time. I travelled from Sacramento via Honolulu, and they left from San Jose via Maui.

My Fuji x100F was handy to grabbing this image of the tropical garden at the Honolulu Airport. It is a large, spread out airport, and I decided that on my return flight I would grab a cart for my carryon luggage.

Luggage arrives, and so do my friends

We unload our stuff at the condo, and head out in search of food. Dinner and then a quick trip to Safeway to get provisions for our stay. Tomorrow we plan to get an early start for a full day of exploring!
