I drove down to Pullman the other day and snapped these pictures along the way. When I got home, I shot the butterfly on my parents' currant bush.

Moose: There's a flower we always called Indian Paintbrush that grows in the ditches around Leavenworth and along the Wenatchee River. It had darker red or orange petals that reached farther down the stem. Same Sp. or relative Maybe? The petals were the same shape as the one in your picture.

I couldn't say. I do know there is a wide array of paintbrush colors- from red to yellow petals. I guess many folks assume the colorful petals are the flower but that is pretty nondescript.

You have a nice eye, the one from near Pullman says Palouse all over it.

Thank you! I found it hard to resist pulling over at every other old barn, combine, or grain elevator on the drive back home. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only person in the car, so this is the one stop I was allowed to make. Not too bad of a choice, I think.

Nice pictures, John. Can you tell us a little about the equipment you used to get those shots? Digital? Lenses? Tripod? Thanks.

Hi Bob,
I use a Canon G3 with a cheap pan-and-tilt tripod. I have a Lensmate bayonet adapter to which a Hoya UV filter and linear polarizer are usually always attached. I rely mostly on the G3's pre-defined settings to setup a shot, but I've been experimenting lately with the manual controls to get the most out of a picture. Photoshop CS is used to tweak the levels, noise, and sharpness. Although most insist I should shoot in RAW, I can't tell the difference between it and the super-fine JPG images, so that's what I use, saving 75% on memory, which are two 256MB Lexar 40x Pro flash cards. I can usually get about 300 photos on both cards, with plenty of charge on the G3's batteries to shoot at least another 100 more.
Everything I know about outdoor digital photography I learned on the Photography Talk forum on NWHikers.net!
Thanks for the compliments.
John
