The uptime is only 9 days when the system was supposedly running for 28 years.

The backyard was illuminated using these blue spot lights that created an awesome effect on long exposure pictures. The following picture has had NO Photoshop effects applied to it (besides the text in the lower right corner).

The camera used was a Nikon D80 that I borrowed from my friend Nick Mcintyre. This was my first experience with this camera and I had some trouble with the settings, so sadly only 3 or 4 pictures of the set came out. This picture is hands down the best.

I searched a bit to find some good recaps, and wanted to share them with others in the same position.

I couldn’t find a good season 5 recap, but this video recaps some of the above in a shorter way.

Don’t want to spoil it, but its perfect.

I missed the landing spot a tiny bit and forgot the hook.
