Maui Rental Cars - Things to think about
While visiting Maui you will definitely need to rent a car as, everything you’ll want to photograph will require driving. If your only going to be on Maui a few days, you may want to rent a rent a wreak. You’ll get better rates and your car will blend better than driving a tourist car. If you rent a wreak please, don’t leave your camera equipment in the car and out of your sight.
If driving in comfort and style to your shoot location is the way you want to go, It suggested you inquire about weekly rates on the rent a car. Sometimes you’ll find coupons in the local discount books for 20% off your rental car so, take the time to look and save.
Something to think about: All the rent a cars look alike and you may want to write your license plate number down and put it in your wallet. Another thing you can do so you don’t loose your car is tie a ribbon around the antenna.
When driving around Maui, look in your rear view mirror occasionally and if you are holding up traffic, show some “Aloha” and pull over to let others pass and the Locals will wave to you with two fingers instead of one.
There is crime in paradise, so don’t keep valuables in your car or trunk (there are trunk buttons inside the car). Don’t leave your wallet on the beach when you swim, and play it smart. Especially do not leave your cameras out of your sight.

Know your flash range:
The number one flash mistake is taking pictures beyond the flash’s range. Why is this a mistake? Because pictures taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. For many cameras, the maximum flash range is less than fifteen feet—about five steps away.
What is your camera’s flash range? Look it up in your camera manual. Can’t find it? Then don’t take a chance. Position yourself so subjects are no farther than ten feet away. Film users can extend the flash range by using Kodak Max versatility or versatility plus film.
Watch the light:
Next to the subject, the most important part of every picture is the light. It affects the appearance of everything you photograph. On a great-grandmother, bright sunlight from the side can enhance wrinkles. But the soft light of a cloudy day can subdue those same wrinkles.
Be your own Director:
Take control of your picture-taking and watch your pictures dramatically improve. Become a picture director, not just a passive picture-taker. A picture director takes charge. A picture director picks the location: “Everybody go outside to the backyard.” A picture director adds props: “Girls, put on your pink sunglasses.” A picture director arranges people: “Now move in close, and lean toward the camera.”
Most pictures won’t be that involved, but you get the idea: Take charge of your pictures and win your own best picture awards.
