Olympus Tough TG-5. Waterproof to 50 feet, mildly shock, crush and temperature proof. This photo of my KonTiki in the Caribbean Sea, on one of your IWL natos, was taken with the TG-5. That shadow below my arm is an old Canadian minesweeper, HMCS Catherine, that was sunk in 60 feet of water.

That time of year when it's bright enough at 10:30 pm to see the dark portion of the moon.

A 12 second exposure doesn't generally yield good shots. It's usually too short to be cool and too long to be nice and sharp. This one is no exception except for the meteors I happened to capture.

The shadows of the trees on my house are from the moon last night.
