Night Hike with the Scouts

Since the church where we hold our regular troop meetings was closed due to the MLK holiday, AND there was nearly a full moon tonight, our scout troop decided it was a perfect opportunity to take a night hike.

The weather was great (ie: no rain, snow, and the temperature was above freezing) and the boys all had a great time hiking by moonlight and headlamp up the Tiger Mountain trail just outside Issaquah, WA.

Photography was a challenge of course. I hate to use flash since it ruins the ambiance and trashes everyone's night vision, so I attempted a few time exposures.

This image is 30 seconds long and was captured as the boys descended a set of switchbacks down the side of Tiger Mountain. Ambient light only with some extra illumination from the scouts headlamps as they walked by,
