Standing Guard at Pu`uhanua O Honaunau

A wooden figure stands, watching the bay at Pu`uhanua O Honaunau National Historic Park, Kona, Hawaii.

Kona Coast, Sunset, III

The slow shutter of this exposure gave the rhythmic Pacific waves a soft, foggy feel.  This picture was taken along with Kona Coast, Sunset, I and Kona Coast, Sunset, II.

For this shot I used neutral density filters to get an exposure of 10 seconds at f/29.

Kona Coast, Sunset, II

Another image of waves breaking against the Kona shore just before sunset.  This one feels more serene than Kona Coast, Sunset, I but the two photos were taken within minutes of each other along the same stretch of the coast.  The key difference being the length of the exposure.  For this photo I used a 2.5 second exposure while the other was only 0.3 seconds.

Gold Dust Day Gecko, I

This Gold Dust Day Gecko was sunning itself on the trunk of a tree, probably hoping a tasty insect would wander by, when I noticed it.
