Nice picks Andy thanks for sharing. I wish we would get falls like that over here in Texas.

Yeah, I missed that when I went to school in Abilene.

Where on earth did you get a tritium glow tube? I went looking for one a while back, and nobody sold them anymore because they were considered radioactive materials.

eBay. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> There's someone that sells them on candlepowerforums too. I bought a glass tritium rod on eBay that's like 4" long. Gotta be careful not to drop it, no plastic coating. I recently saw a tritium exit sign on eBay, some big rods in there.

Is/was yours fairly bright? I know they get darker as they get old and the tritium decays.

Pretty good for as small as they are. My oldest one I've had for nearly 10 years, and it still glows fine. I can almost read in the dark with one if I hold it really close.

If you look at the full size pic, you can even see the little hairs on his leg. My camera is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W1. It's 5.1 MP & It has a 2.5" LCD screen.

Here's what it looks like:

Here's a couple reviews on this camera:

It films video too. Here's a video I made with it a couple days ago:

Just goes to show you don't need a super expensive camera to take really impressive shots. Great shots!
