  • Kids play in this Lagoon and yet another kids pool (with slides)...
  • Another pool just below here we swim in...
  • Live music every night at the base of our building...with a bar :-)
  • Many more restaurants over here that we eat at...
  • Torch flame from the long exposure of the Polynesian show they put on that ends with the beginning of the fireworks.

Waikiki Fireworks

Biggest apologies for posting yet *another* photo from the same location (our balcony) with the same but slightly different view!

I really don't like posting similar shots as I like to keep my photostream varied for me, the family, and all my friends out there. However its been real hard to get out of the complex here as it has everything we need, so I'll just have to make do with similar shots on this trip. We're suffering just fine though ;-)

Non-HDR shot taken of the every-Friday fireworks that the Hilton puts on for its guests and the rest of Waikiki.

Hawaii.

    that sky looks amazing and those fireworks really low, or is it just the lens that covers a lot mor of the sky than just them¿?

  8. elementalPaul (48 months ago | reply)

    You could try a different lens for a bit of variety ;-)

    Nice shot dude! The wee notes are very helpful, I can see there's plenty to keep you and the family out of (or even in) mischief!
