As this is my first photo post, I got some errs and may have posted more than once (OOPS). I told Tim that I would stop lurking to post these photos. (Yes Gary I heard you during MF!) While these photos were not take at one of Tim's meets, I used the Tim's lessons to get these shots. I still don't know exactly how I got the shots, except that I used a long shutter time. I had to put the camera completely on manual to get a long enough of a shutter time and kept tweeking the rest of the settings. Eventually, I got these two photos (2nd photo in next post). There were about 40 others that didn't come out so well. Here's my night time mantra, 'Fence posts (trash cans, tables, etc) are my friends'. OK I'll now head back to my cave to continue lurking.

Those are great. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot Everest yet hopefully I'll get to that next time.
When in the heck did they turn the lights back on? Or did I just go during a time when they had some lights down
Not sure Roger, I got these the Wed before the Land portion of Mousefest... extra magic hours are great....
great shots meg, see i told you, you can do this, these are nothing to be ashamed of, not at all, so stay out of lurkerland and show some more, anything you take pics of, i'm going to walk into the cemetary next to my house this afternoon, not because it's particularly photogenic, at least not like oakwood in syracuse, but it's convenient and i need to test out a new cf card, make sure it's good out of the box and all that, so that's what i've got in front of me today, so that's what the subject of the day is today besides i can't keep posting concert and horse shots, or polish bride on a tractor shots, i'll bore everyone very quickly only c&c i have is make them a little larger, site accepts up to 225 kb, and these would be great at that size, easily set up if using ps, under size for web, popup menu has a click on for optimize, type in 225, and it stays that way until next time you want to change it, i size to 800by500 pixels under image first for anything i will be web posting, with proportions constraint on,
Thanks folks.... Yeah Gary I thought the same thing, but I had no idea what I was doing and tried 3 or 4 times to post and got errors at first. Once I finally got it to work I wasn't going to fight it. Not using PS (photo shop??) but Kodak's product since it came with the camera. I'll have to play with the settings. On another topic... Happy holidays to all and to all a good night.
These pictures came out great, Meg! I have no yet seen Everest at night. It looks great. Fantastic job!!
