The night was just so gorgeous last night (just a day away from being a full moon!). I couldn't resist spending about 45 minutes outside in the brisk night air, playing around with camera settings on my little point and shoot, as well as on the Canon SLR that one of our students had left in our bathroom (strangely one of the warmest, driest locations on campus, when our dehumidifier is running). She's offered in the past that we can play around with settings and have fun with it when it's up here, so given the beautiful night, I pushed in my memory card and snapped away in the night air until the battery died! Here are some of the results of my endeavors to figure out camera settings and such:
(Hint: if you click on the photos, they'll get bigger in a nice chic photo viewer that makes it easier to see them rather than scrolling down.)

Back lawn, dark pond, and bright clouds and moonbeam.

Just wanted to share. That's all for now!
