I got a major sunburn from the previous day during the roadtrip. We lost an entire day because of this, but I got back on track and we've been able to create a few interesting images on the next night. I'm not sure how we manage to hide this, but even during that night of light-painting, I was in major pain and was moving so slowly. But hey, when the passion is there.......? :P

The main topic we decided to talk about is how to travel with the tubes. This is a question that has been coming up a few times in the group, so I thought it would be a good thing to talk about it. Basically, you can not bring the tubes as a carry-on, you need to check it, and have enough weight inside of it. The bag that I was using back then was a light-stand pouch that is not available anymore, but I designed my own that is fully adapted for the tubes and accessories ( https://shop.ericpare.com )

Tomorrow we'll spend the night at a mirador near San Pedro and we'll talk about how we manage to find the right brightness for the tube (episode 104)

About this series: going to the Atacama desert was a dream for us. We knew we would go there one day, but things suddenly rushed out when Audi Canada invited us to go there. We spent a week in the cold winter of the desert to play with the tubes and the stars
