As you can see, it's darn hard to shoot with a P&S camera in darkness, but this is about the best one of the "moon shots" we took.

More coming.

Here are some additional photos from our night paddle. The lake was glass, and once we got clear of the Norwegian Creek Campground that's located on the northwest side of Lake Benton, we were out into real dark, it was great.





We found the "night portrait" setting on our Olympus worked pretty well for the photos, but one does have to hold it steady for a considerable time to make the images proper.

This one was just a flash shot but it shows how calm the water was on our trip.
Laura really liked the trip, and it was a good way to just get out and paddle without worrying about wind and all that daytime nonsense.
Plus summer will end some day, and we don't want that day to come without putting a few night miles on our boats.


We didn't spend too much time on the water, and the nice light by the dock (and all the noise from the campground) guaranteed our safe return to the car. This photo's a bit blurry, but it showed the nice sandy beach from where we launched.

If you haven't night paddled this summer, do it before it's too late, and always do so on a lake. Sweepers, debris, and other challenges on a river would be way-dangerous in the darkness.

Peace and love,

Jarett and Laura
