Long exposures times plus LED Flashlight=Fun Photos
So, the sun is down, the moon is out and it's time to just have some fun. So, I take some photos without flash, just using a small LED flashlight and a long exposure. Of course, people thought I was a bit nuts. But before long, they seemed to get in on the fun.

And here is a shot taken at night. Funny how the camera sees the sky as blue at night while our eyes reduce the color bandwidth to shades of grey. Oh, heck, this is getting boring.
Anyhow the tent worked out pretty well. If by well means there was only room to lay down. Sitting down was not an option, nor was standing. It is a one person tent and I guess they think that one person would only want to lay down. So, when the rain starting pouring down, there was no sitting up.
It is almost sardine time inside. On the positive side, the thing is light and dry. On the downside, most of your gear has to live outside, where it's not so light or dry. So, I might pick up a two man tent and give this one to a homeless person as a cruel, cruel act of kindness. Of course, in Hawaii, many of the homeless seem to be relocated haloes in their 50's. Which brings up....
When I've got my backpack on and ready to go camping, I look like a homeless person. Which brings up the question "is camping sort of like pretending your homeless for a weekend?" Minus the digging through dumpsters part. Maybe.
On to even more pressing concerns....

Too Small Tent...Too Much Fun!

Slave to Phone Batteries
Mind you I was faced with an issue common around the globe. My cell phone battery died. It was almost tragic. I had to limit my calls to conserve the battery and surfing the web was out of the question. Which was kind of sucky, considering I was laying down in my sardine can of a tent as the rain fell down and the 50 steps to the main tent in the camp seemed a bit far considering the deluge. At least the homeless are smart enough to go to the library for free high speed internet. Me, not so much. But hey, I was camping...Mahalo,
