A Gift for YOU /// Free iPhone Wallpaper from Hawaii

0 · Aug 29, 2012 · 3 Comments

I made it home from Kaua’i yesterday… Grabbed the kiddos from my sweet friend’s house and started on the task of gathering laundry, filling out all of the fabulous school paperwork for the kiddos, attempting to tackle my email inbox, and trying to catch up on some sleep after taking the red-eye home. One of my favorite parts about coming home is giving out all of the fun gifts I found while visiting Kaua’i. I even have some for you guys!!!

iPhone Photography

I’ve become an iPhone photography enthusiast as of late and took the leap…I left my big bad Canon 5D Mark II home and went to Kauai with just my iPhone in hand. Gulp, my husband almost had a heart attack and was a little sad. He said, “just think of all the amazing photos you are going to miss without your camera.” Right then and there I decided to prove him wrong. I documented the whole trip via my iPhone 4.s and Instagram, I had a ball. I also used several of the photography apps that I featured in my Top Ten Instagram Photo Apps post.

I am thrilled with the results and I don’t have any regrets at all with going 100% iPhone for the trip. The pictures turned out great and I didn’t have to lug the big ole’ bad boy around. A couple of days before I left I had used one of my photos as a wallpaper for my phone and had a thought. I would love to share my tropical paradise with you guys as well. So here’s my souvenir to you… Thirteen photos from Kauai to use as your iphone wallpaper if you wish!
