Tonight is one of the few nights of the year the Night Blooming Cereus comes out to play on the rock wall at Punahou School. I decided to take my camera and some flash equipment out about an hour ago. Here’s the first shot I’ve played with. The shots were taken with off camera flash, bounced out of a silvered umbrella reflector and, at least on some if not this one, another flash with a diffuser illuminating from below. At least a couple of the shots turned out okay.
I have more, but it’s late and I’m too tired to work on them now.
I do, however, have a quick update on my bike. After my afternoon meeting and errand I came home and decided to clean my drive train. While doing so I notice that my back tire was bulging again. Yep…the sidewall was separating a bit and would probably result in a flat sooner rather than later.
Damn.
I can’t quite figure out why, but just in case I repositioned the brake pads to make doubly sure they aren’t rubbing, then I went to get new tires.
This time instead of getting the same 26×1.95 that came with the bike, I moved to road tires after talking with the folks at The Bike Shop. Now I have 26×1.5 which are much, much different. I haven’t really ridden them yet, just enough to know they work. Tomorrow I’ll take them out for a spin and see what’s what.
That’s it for today though. I’m beat.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
