On our final night in Catalina, we decided to hike up the eastern side of Avalon and get some night photos. It’s a maze of hilly roads and walkways on the east side, but we eventually found our way to the top of Upper Terrace Road

One thing we discovered was just how many dead pixels the old Nikon camera has. I count about 7 that only show up in dark shots. Terrible.

Lucky thing we had the Canon. I used a mini-tripod to set it up for long-exposure shots, which worked out well.

Another lucky animal encounter happened on this trip as well. We were walking back home when suddenly we spotted a deer about 10 feet in front of us. We moved slowly, and to our surprise, it actually came closer, probably to about 3 feet of Robyn. It was so dark that we didn’t get many good shots, but we did manage to get some proof.
