I love taking moon shots!!

That is awesome!!! Looks much better than my moon picture. How did you do it? As there'll soon be a full moon, I'd like to try it!

Wow, great moon photo Kay! I was wondering the same thing as Kristen...?

Ok, so this next week we have our county fair, and I'm going to enter some pictures, but I need help decideing. These are the ones me and my family have picked out. I'm not sure how many you can enter. Its just a little fair, so its not like the pictures have to be anything fantastic, but if you dont like any of the pictures I'm posting, for any reason please say so, because I need to narrow it down.... I'm pretty sure I like the first four, not so crazy about #3... *sorry about the crazy sizes*

#2, #4, #5 are my favorites.

I like all of them too!
I really like the one of the flower with rain drops

I figgered out some of the modes on my camera purely by accident -
some of them aren't as clear as I'd like but I am happy with them overall.

Beautiful photos Kristen!! How did you get the backgroud to turn out completly black on the Lily photo?

Gosh, you all are making it SO hard for me to decide what pictures to choose!! I have to enter them early thursday morning, and I haven't even picked them out yet!! I still need to pick them out, print them, and frame them! Gosh...I guess I'll have to decide for myself Thank you everyone for your help!

Thanks!

How did you get the backgroud to turn out completly black on the Lily photo?

Well, I don't know... I used the tv mode (F7,1, exposure time 1/320, no flash, spot focus). The sun was shining onto the blossom. I was surprised it turned out completely black.
