Hawaii is composed of tiny islands, each of which is unique in its own way. There is no shortage of dramatic mountains, postcard-perfect beaches, and hidden valleys, and the talented photographers who call this paradise home have captured it all.

Uheheu – @uheheu

If you love whales, then Uheheu will keep you entertained for hours. Capturing nature’s biggest creatures from the sky, Uheheu posts videos of whales swimming, playing and diving into the deep blue ocean. His videos will leave you in awe, as you marvel at how graceful these gentle giants are.

A female humpback will travel 3000+ miles to give birth to her calf around the Hawaiian Islands. We believe this is because of the lack of predators (orcas, great whites etc) and warm waters. During their stay in Hawaii the mother depends on her fat reserves to survive and feed her calf, who will consume large quantities of milk, in order to become strong enough for the journey north. About this interaction: @findthesky spotted this pair splashing around, breathing and diving for about 30 minutes. Halfway through this interaction a male escort appeared and we noticed the mom and calf would dive for longer periods of time and spend less time at the surface. Male escorts are commonly seen with mom calf pairs in hopes of mating. Male escorts also protect the mom/calf pair from rival males. technical: inspired by @donalboyd to take more photos this season. still learning how to time these shots but absolutely blown away by the quality of the phantom 4 pro. the sun was in the wrong position but the polar pro nd4 pl helped a lot.

Juan Oliphant – @juansharks

If you’ve ever been curious about sharks, or just love them in general, then professional underwater photographer Juan Oliphant will make your head spin. Showcasing the natural beauty and curiosity of sharks, you can find people diving, swimming, and coexisting with these beautiful marine apex predators, which, in turn, destroys the notion that sharks are mindless man-eating machines.

Nainoa, Makana, and Kapono – @threeifbysea

A trio of brothers run this epic Instagram, and they all show the world their adventures around the Hawaiian Islands. Find them hiking in the mountains, shooting playful dolphins underwater, or relaxing in peaceful valleys.

Marina Chayka – @eastern_import

Marina Chayka makes dreamy pictures of Hawaii look even better by combining all the best elements of the islands into one picture; this is her specialty. Her Instagram will leave you speechless as you scroll through hundreds of her perfect pictures.

Utopia . When it rains on this island, it creates countless cascades coming down the mountain ridges. I adventured out to try to capture the waterfalls a few days back. Majority of the time your camera can not convey the beauty the way your eyes see it. For me, that's when editing steps in. . Unfortunately the waterfalls weren't as big as I'd hoped so I cheated a bit. Ended painting the water in. This composite consists of 4 layers of images. Main source of inspiration came from Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens. . This is what I had envisioned while I was standing out in the rain and letting my mind soak in the view. . I had Jurassic Park playing in the background while working on this composite. I'm a huge fan of the series and it had influence going into the feel that I wanted to portray. (cue Jurassic 🐊🐊🐊Park theme song) . This is my lost world 😜 #moodygrams#fatalframes#way2ill#usaprimeshot#hubs_united#click_N_share#agameoftones#illgrammers#heatercentral#shotzdelight#globalcapture#insta_worldz#hawaii#nikon#nature#explore#travel#wanderlust#landscape#outdoors#adventure#createcommune#aov#artofvisuals#amazingphotohunter#alohaoutdoors#nakedhawaii#hawaiistagram#ig_oahu#waterfall
