this is motivational to me as i ordered a 7d from the camera shop mauka of the lahaina cannery. i'm mostly on the south side of the island, where the vog from the big island has been giving us some interesting sunsets, and nasty humidity. hope to post one of these days. by the way, the last time i drove front street it was a bumpy ride, so your tripod tie down obviously did its duty. thanks for sharing.
