ship rounds by them. Entering the harbor, your slowing vessel will soon be ringed by small boats loaded with the traditional floral leis, and in a magic moment everyone aboard ship will be bedecked. This is the time to move in for a few colorful closeups. A shot or two of the Hawaiian diving boys and a scene of the Aloha Tower as your ship approaches the dock will complete your filming of the voyage.
ON WAIKIKI BEACH
Being on a holiday, you will undoubtedly find your Honolulu residence in the Waikiki area. You will probably make several shots of the famous Royal Hawaiian Hotel, with its beautiful grounds and adjoining Waikiki Beach. For your shots on Waikiki Beach use an opening of //ll, if your shutter speed is 1/30 of a second and you are using color film. Be sure to include in your beach coverage a sequence showing one of the Hawaiian beach boys making a coconut hat. You will want to catch also the outrigger canoes and the boys on surfboards as they race toward the shore at breakneck speed. Expose again at //ll, but use your longest telephoto lens as the action starts at some distance from shore.
Your Waikiki sequence, of course, will not be complete without a shot of Diamond Head. The best viewis obtained from the beach in back of the Halekulani Hotel, where Diamond Head can be pictured through a frame of palm trees. Best time for this shot is in the afternoon.
HULAS TO ORDER Equally famous with Waikiki Beach is the graceful Hawaiian hula. The place to catch your dance sequence is in the Coconut Grove of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, where, on every boat-arrival day, they put on an hour long hula show from two to three in the afternoon. The sun is in ideal position, and this show is hula dancing at its best. There is even a comedy number, toward the end, which will give your dance study a comic relief much appreciated by later audiences.

find plenty of flowers to tempt your camera. The bird of paradise, red anthericum and torch ginger will make interesting studies, and don't fail to film the hibiscus, the territorial flower. There are as well many varieties of flowering trees such as the royal poinciana, the monkeypod, banyan and shower trees. A trip to Foster Gardens in Honolulu to record the rare orchids for which the Islands are famous should not be overlooked.
AROUND HONOLULU Honolulu itself offers many interesting camera studies. A fine view of the entire city can be obtained from atop the Punchbowl, an extinct volcano; it is a morning shot. From this same vantage point an equally excellent view of Waikiki and Diamond Head can be had in the afternoon. In downtown Honolulu you will want to include the Aloha Tower.
