In the Hamilton Islands off Queensland in the northeast, temperatures currently fluctuate from 73 to 75 degrees.

This weekend, the weather welcomes a clan of eager Instagrammers for this year’s Ultimate Instameet: a social initiative that brings together top digital photographers from around Australia, the UK, and Asia. I’m tagging along to catch their photo tips, learn more about beach Instagramming, capture some epic sunset shots … and share the experience with you guys! On the feed, just look out for #return2paradise #hamiltonisland and #seeaustralia.

Attendees of the Ultimate Instameet were hand chosen through a beach photography competition. If you’d like to check out their feeds, here are their handles: @markseabury, @mattglastonbury, @bobby_j, @miaglastonbury, and @ido8all. Also attending will be a crew of Hamilton Island approved ambassadors, i.e. cool people you’d never imagine you’d be stranded with on an island — swim champion Michael Klim, Balinese Princese Lindy Klim, and designer Jeremy Somers of We are Handsome (to name a few).

I look forward to sharing the photo love with you. Hopefully I’ll catch you on the sands of Bondi Beach in Sydney or perhaps on a InstaWalk in New York City.
