<p>We had our monthly Group Shoot for the San Diego dSLR Photo Group last night. A bunch of us met for a picnic dinner in Balboa Park, then spent the evening wandering around visiting and taking photos. It was a perfect night to be outside, with an almost full moon.</p>

<p>This is one end of the Alcazar Garden, a small Moorish-style garden tucked away behind one of the museums. K-7, DA 21, 20 sec. at f/7.1, ISO 100. I used my little pocket flashlight to paint the fountain in the foreground with a bit of extra light for this one.</p>

<p>Turning around in the other direction, the almost-full moon was rising behind some scattered clouds. K7, DA 21, 20 sec. at f/7.1, ISO 100.</p>

<p>In addition to my usual "travel / sightseeing" lenses (the DA Limiteds) I spent some time with my old SMCP-A 135 f/2.8 last night as well. I'm trying to get comfortable with the manual focusing through the dSLR viewfinder. So far, it's not been as bad as I remembered the last time I tried it. K-7, SMCP-A 135 f/2.8, 0.6 sec. at f/5.0, ISO 200.</p>

<p>Howard, yes I know some people can't view them however on my flickr account they instantly recieve views from photonet so I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe someone can enlighten us?</p>

<p>John - I don't see anything either. No dead link... nothing. Just your text.</p>

I love the fox photo!

<p>Strange, according to flickr I have about 300 views from Photonet between the two shots....</p>

<p>John -- I too have never seen one of your POW postings. The photos always show up as a little question mark box. Always makes me wonder what I am missing...</p>

<p>John, I don;t see any images or broken links in your posts either.<br>

Maybe you could try again? For Flickr I copy the html and paste it into my PN post but the images only show in the preview at first until I hit update again and then they show in the message field too. Maybe it's somehow related to that weird thing.</p>

<p>John<br>

I saw nothing but your text either. </p>

<p>Ok will try another shot taken about a week ago<img title="Bug's Eye View by John Behrends, on Flickr" src="../pentax-camera-forum/<a href=" alt="" /><img src="http:/farm7.static.flickr.com/6188/6121834561_fbc5087f16_z.jpg" alt="Bug's Eye View" width="640" height="428" />" alt="" /></p>

<p>I have to give this a try. Sounds like ths is the one you were trying to post (if it shows up for me) right?<br>

Cool shot John. I'm also drawn to these kinds of flowers.</p>

<p>FYI, I copied and pasted the html for the 640 version, clicked submit, and then update to make the photo show in the text edit box before clicking submit.</p>

<p>If I didn't make it clear enough, the above (very cool, I might add) photo belongs to John Behrends. Hopefully I won't get banned for breaking the rules!</p>

<p>John - If you go to your picture in flickr (I couldn't find your stream), put cursor on picture; right click for the drop down menu, click on "Copy image location". Return to photo.net text box, click on the tree icon, put cursor in URL box, hit Ctrl -V or Command -v for mac (I think) to paste URL. It will appear as will picture in text box. Add comments. Hit confirm. It should go to thread.</p>
