My brother Michael and his wife Jessica came over to help us get our new fridge moved in, but we got a little "distracted." Michael and I recently both got new cameras which just happen to be the exact same model. So we thought we would practice using them.

But I must admit, that was a little boring. As the night grew darker, we moved to the backyard to mess with the exposure settings. Here's what we got:
The red name was done with my headlamp's red light. An LED flashlight was used to create Spencer's name. I turned the flashlight on and off to separate the letters in the image above.
