There is still a small leper colony far as I’m aware.

That looks amazing. I’d love to visit your home island someday.

It is a great perspective. If you enjoy taking photos I recommend the heli flights

Not really sunny. Sunny beyond where we were. It was actually drizzling rain on us and we were flying mostly under a cloud bank. I wanted a higher ISO so that I could use a higher shutter speed. especially with a polarizing filter. That and the Nikon D750 I use handles low light well. Even at those higher ISO. If you zoom way in you will see some noise but a lot of what appears to be noise is the drizzle of rain.

They are used for a few films I believe too

Thank you. I did a whole series on this trip so I’m sure I’ll be sharing another later on 😊

That is the truth

It is a special view for sure. Thank you

Thank you

Sounds like a great experience!

Sounds accurate. I’ve only been on Molokai for a paddle competition. That and flown over it many times. I’ve heard it was expensive for their food and resources and that many were living off the government. I read many small businesses that were tourist friendly closed down. I’ve heard locals can be very welcoming and also very unfriendly depending on the exact situation. I’ll likely never get to go explore it fully but I do appreciate what I have experienced.

I’ve yet to do Kauai but I certainly want to

Thank you. Yeah a good camera was a must

No that’s Kauai.

I highly recommend it

Yeah I like to share the details I’m glad that’s appreciated

I’ve been to and seen both. Both are breathtaking.

I see. Yes Hawaii needs physicians and teachers. It’s a good way to get in touch with the local community too.

You were offered a job on Molokai? Doing what if you don’t mind me asking? It’s a beautiful island. A photographer treasure trove too.

Have to be careful about that 😊

It also needs to land with two jeeps waiting and a voice that says welcome to Jurassic park.

Next time!

Yeah I had the main theme song in my head during the flight.

Thank you
