Hickam AFB Beach at Night.

After living in Hawaii for 3 years and visiting the same places over and over, we had to find new ways to make family outings seem different and entertaining. So we decided to visit our beach but at night instead of day.

It was a big surprise to discover that just changing the time of day can make a big impact not only on how our pictures turned out but also how relaxing the place was.

After a few nights we learned that just laying down and looking at the stars in the sky makes a great past time. Finding shooting stars can make a great competition. And if you take pictures, it will be a great learning experience. You'll get to know your camera better than ever before. You'll notice that the presence of the moon, a small town close by or clouds can make your picture totally different each time.
