I took these 2 shots last night. The Wyoming sky is so beautiful!

Beautiful sky

Wyoming moon - 2

Before I took the above shot of the moon, I had my camera on a different mode...can't remember which mode that was now though! I thought it was pretty cool...I call it Triple Moons!

Photo Quest #21 Self Portrait - Runs from 7/15 - 7/ 22

nobody@vox.com(WPG) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:54:03 -0700

I think this might be a very fun quest. This week take some self portrait photos and submit your best three photos.

Instructions, photos can be or any part of you (remember this is a G rated group) doing anything you like. You can even have two or three or more of you in a photo. Here are some fun instructions for accomplishing that very thing http://www.muddyboots.org/creatingatwin.

Photos can be in black and white, color or sepia or anything thing you want to try with color or non-color. If you don't have a tripod you can set you camera on a shelf, a table or a chair. You might have to get out your camera's manual to find how to set a delay so you can get seated for your self portrait.

If you have a remote shutter control that is even better. Here are some instructions on self portraits http://www.ehow.com/how_2145984_take-self-portrait.html and http://photodoto.com/im-ready-for-my-closeup-6-methods-for-perfectly-focused-self-portraits/. Then here are some great ideas for a self portrait http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGall2.asp?catID=441

Try different backgrounds, different lighting...inside and outside photos...then there is always fun with photoshop, elements etc. Maybe even frame your photo. And remember have some fun with this!

nobody@vox.com(WPG) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:55:52 -0700

Unbelievable participation this week...we had ten entries. Funny when I've actually given out real prizes I haven't got this many entries! You are making my job hard...but I love it!

The quest this week was to take photos of water. And water photos we got! We have photos of oceans, rivers, lakes, drops of water, puddles of water, water on flowers, water on trees, water on rocks, water on a canal, city reflections in water, flowers reflections in water we certainly had plenty of water. Participants from Japan, Alaska, Wisconsin, Missouri, Colorado, the east coast, Arizona, and a few other places. Nice to see what water looks like around the country.

Hope you learned something about take photos of water and maybe something new about your camera.

Now for the awards for the weeks best photos:

1st place for best reflection goes to Purplesque for her photo life line, of the city at night reflecting in the water...great photo!

2nd place for best reflection goes to yancunyong, lovely photo of lotus flowers in a pond! Yancunyong is new to the group so welcome and thanks for your wonderful photo!

I finally got a chance to post! It's been awhile. Here are some shots of Boulder Creek that runs from Nederland to Boulder. I decided to change these because I realized the B&W are a little overexposed. If it doesn't count because it's late I understand :)

Reflection (Lotus)

I was sick in bed in two days but I dared to go to EXPO'70 memorial park with my DSLR. It's time to post photos for Photo Quest #20 - Show me water. I took photos of river and droplet for the quest, but these are not so well. I wanted to capture reflection of lotus blooming on pond.

PENTAX K200D, smc PENTAX DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED (f/5.6, 1/250, ISO100)

River and droplet are as follows:
