Jack R. typed: > I love the night shot of your van! Thanks! It was really cold that night. I had stepped out of the van to take care of business before snuggling into bed when I noticed how the oil lamps were lighting the poptop. It looked great so I hauled out my 20D, mounted a wide angle lens, set it on the tripod and played with exposure. 30 seconds caught everything but the van was too dark, so during the next shot I "painted" the van with the light from a little LED flashlight to lift the shadows. Came out pretty nice. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
