Fri 6/6/08 9:29-9:41 pm Santa Rosa, CA (Pics #82,041-82,097) - Kandice owns HolisticHooping.com, which sells the lighted hula-hoops. http://HolisticHooping.com info@holistichooping.com Heart is the hula-hooper. - Mitchell Tsai

Pretty colours! I like it. - Rahul Das

It was a lot of fun shooting pictures tonight. One lighted hula-hoop with many colors. I met Kandace a few years ago at Earthdance http://earthdancelive.com, another wonderful event in California. Maybe sometime you can visit America? Perhaps when our countries get along better? - Mitchell Tsai

No post-processing. I experimented with new camera settings, and got much better effects than my past attempts by lengthening exposure time from 1/5 sec to 1/2 to 1 to 2 sec. Canon S5 IS, ASA 400, F 3.2. Effects got really cool at 1-2 sec. - In later sets, I played with ASA 100. Some fun differences. Could probably use some pointers from Thomas Hawk. :-) Can anyone help me - what effect would F 2.7, 3.2, 3.5 have on night shots? - Mitchell Tsai

Ok. I reordered the photos properly, and added captions. Have fun! - Mitchell Tsai

Mitchell, thanks for the sharing the cam setting. Its always good to know shutter & ISO info . gr8 pic's . BTw, I got my Laptop hooked into a HDTV/ LCD plasma display and run the slide show, the imagery of colurs just jumps to you :)- - Peter Dawson

These are really great pictures, Mitchell! - felix

Thanks felix. Last night was great - heard 8 bands, but have to get some sleep now. :-) So far 51 pics posted from 1,466 shot last night. I've got ~15 sets that I owe people at the festival. It's going to take awhile to post them... and still have 7,000 Japan pictures... My friends are doing a big fire show tonight 11:30 pm - 12:15 am. More photos... :-) - Mitchell Tsai

wow! - Shandiz

If anyone's in the Bay Area, come join us this weekend in Santa Rosa. :-) Angelique Kidjo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... is performing Sunday night, and she's one of my favorite singers. We've got 7 stages with 3+ bands at any time...and late night goes until 3 am. Band schedule is http://harmonyfestival.com/schedul... Tickets are available for partial days and nights. It's a subsidized festival (so about 1/2 actual cost). - Mitchell Tsai

MISTAKE: Oops. The hula-hooper was Heart (not Kandice). - Mitchell Tsai
