As I've done before, I went with friends by motorcycle up to VT for the weekend to go camping in the middle of nowhere. I didn't get any great pictures this time, for a variety of reasons... should've brought a real tripod, spent all day in the saddle instead of shooting, moon was bright so it blocked star light pretty early in the evenings, etc etc. But I got a few that people might like to see. The humble X100 continues to be a quiet, unobtrusive, trusty travel partner.

My perennial motocamping cohort, Chris.

Our friend Ian's bike, lit mostly by firelight and for one quick 1/2 second flash of my headlamp. Exposure was about 20 seconds I think, and I had to use a tiny 3" tripod which was NOT very steady with that floppy, heavy X100 on it. I did what I could to pull some shots in.

Soup and beer, hand-held shot. Loved the headlamp flare...

A rest break on a picnic table, during a day of 9 hours of riding.

Exposure was around 1/15, I think? I told him to hold still and it worked out.

And finally, that drowsy last half hour before hitting the sack. Cheers, all.

that last one almost reminds me of an old "Tonight, let it be Lowenbaru" advert.
