> 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.
