Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Absaroka Range The Absaroka Range as seen through the pass at Bozeman, MT. While hiking through the high desert countryside, this storm grew over the Absaroka Range. It seemed really dramatic with warm sunset light coming through the clouds. For more storm cloud images, see Storm Clouds | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story This image came from a simple click while hiking in high desert northwest of Bozeman, MT. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Seascape Sunset This image looks toward Maui taken from the northwestern shore of the Big Island along the Kona Coast. Look closely and just beyond the trees lies Maui’s volcano, Haleakalā, (“house of the sun”) rising above the clouds at 10,023 feet. It’s a massive shield volcano that forms more than 75% of Maui. For more information and images, see Big Island Sunsets | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story My walkabout was a bit late and a bit unusual. Seascapes do not come easy for a Midwesterner. The time just before total darkness has become one of my favorite times to capture images. And, for you photogs; yes, the Nikon 1 V1 does a nice job in manual mode too. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
