Our first excursion together was a
helicopter ride over the island of Kauai. Eric and I were both very excited and
looked forward to seeing Hawaii from the sky.
Since there was limited space and a
weight allotment on the helicopter, I was not allowed to bring my camera bag
with all of the extras I may want. So, I had to choose. I decided to attach the
zoom lens on my manual “good” camera so I could capture the waterfalls and
gorgeous greenery with the clearest detail and had that one hanging around my
neck. On my wrist was the Canon Power Shot for the wide angle photos. I was prepared to take great images with
whichever camera the situation suited best.
I discovered as we were flying
around the island, that the close up images of trees and water were nice, but
didn’t capture the majesty of the island I wanted to remember and take home
with me. With its wider angle lens, I once again found my little Power Shot took
good pictures and was better for the landscapes. Additionally, because of its
compact size I could get the lens closer to the glass to crop out the
reflections of the people inside the helicopter. The lighter, more versatile point-and-shoot
also saved me the trouble of contorting my body to get the shots I wanted.
