Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Gold Dust Day Gecko Landscapes are nice; wildlife is better. Problem is; there’s not much wildlife along the Kona Coast unless you get into the water. When stopping for a rest on a mid day walkabout, these Geckos were just playing around. At first, they seemed like a nuisance, but then they became fun to watch. They seem to be curious critters and, of course, they’re naturally cute.
The Back Story This gecko posed on the leaf for a long time. Simple clicks captured many images. 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.

Big Island & Kilauea B&W | Peaceful Kilauea Recent news headlines depict with an erupting Kilauea volcano. This image shows a more peaceful Kilauea serenely puffing light smoke into the clouds. What a difference! See Big Island & Kilauea B&W | a 7 Image Story for the whole story.

Big Island Sunsets | Blue Hour Well, in reality, blue hour usually only lasts about 20 minutes. During the blue hour the sky has a deep blue hue with saturated colors. It’s the time after sunset (just after golden hour) before total darkness when lighted colors really stand out, yet the background is still visible. The different shades of the sky and color saturation make it a great for landscape and seascape photography. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Big Island Sunsets | a 7 Image Story.

Big Island Sunsets | Rocky Tree Walking along the shoreline path just before sunset, it’s easy to see the rugged nature of the shore. After dark without any moonlight, the walk gets more difficult. A red miner’s light would be helpful. Time to think about long exposures. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Big Island Sunsets | a 7 Image Story.
