The little Nikon will have to do better; there are more boats with lights on them every day here. I'll find a good spot with something to set the camera down on and try again. The shot shown here has too much in the foreground. I know I can get a better shot like that if I weren't so damn tired/lazy. 10 hours a day in a recording booth is murder. And I still have two days to go. I must be getting old. This stuff used to be easy. When this happens, I feel like an idiot.

And like you, it seems, I keep on *not* taking my good camera and regretting it. I wonder how long it takes before we really, truly learn to *always take the good camera*.... Your little Nikon did a good job though. <em>Miraz Jordan's last blog post: <a href="http://knowit.co.nz/2008/12/wordpress-adventure" rel="nofollow">WordPress Adventure</a></em> Like you, I have a rule to *always* take my good camera.

I hate when you get bad info on the Web. And I REALLY hate when I'm a source! No matter when it is, I'll miss it. That's unfortunate, because it sure looked like a neat event. Oh!

Either way, I'd miss it. Sounds like a lot of fun, though. According to the online event info I found (like this), the event is actually the following weekend: December 19-20.

Aspen Helicopters one of the companies I flew for previously in the area used to fly,(sling) an illuminated Santa and reindeer over the harbor on those nights. Good memories. <em>Keith Gill's last blog post: <a href="http://heligypsy.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/auetralia-to-zakynthos-album-2/" rel="nofollow">Australia to Zakynthos Album 2</a></em> The Parade of Lights boat show and fireworks display,(not as hazardous as it sounds) will be this coming weekend,the 14th and 15th , I think.
