Ok, it's still a new game, so here are the rules:
1 - Try to take new shots each week to post. The idea is to encourage people to get creative and actually take pictures, not just post those that you've taken in the past.
2 - Each person can post up to three different pictures to the thread. This should give everyone the opportunity to try out some different ideas.
3 - Discussion on the thread is highly encouraged. Wanna know how someone got that great shot? ASK, cause there's probably three other people wondering the same thing.
4 - Let's try to keep the pics to a similar size as those on the "contest" threads. No real limit, but it makes it easier on everyone if we don't have to do too much scrolling to see your pics. Try to make it so that no one side of the picture is more than 800 pixels.
5 - Have fun! We're going to do this at least this week as a "discussion" thread, both to generate more interest and to make sure that everyone is comfortable with posting their pics out there for others to see (I know I'm not the only newbie involved
). But this is supposed to be fun, 'cause even if we do go to a "contest" format, the winner don't get nothin' but braggin' rights. 
I will post a new "theme" each week on Monday sometime (most likely in the mornings, but it depends on what else is goin' on out here in the real world), and the theme will run through the following Monday. Once we get into this a little we may find a different schedule works better, but we'll try it out this way and see how it goes.
*****Here's a hint: If you're planning on playing along in the weeks to come, go ahead and take a look at the upcoming themes at the bottom of this post. That way, you can get a head start and already be thinking along those lines as you're looking for shots for this week's theme!*****
Ok...now for the fun stuff:
This week's theme is: Reflection
Description: Ok, this week you're gonna have to get a little creative. The objective here is to get everyone to start noticing the reflections we see all around us. It could be a pastoral scene as reflected in a still lake, it could be a street scene as reflected in store windows, or it could be a self portrait. Doesn't matter how you decide to use the theme, just so your shots connect with the title.
THREAD END DATE: MAY 11, 2008

May 12: Substitutiary Locomotion (Movement)
May 19: I Wanna Be Like You (Things in Pairs)
May 26: It's a Small World After All (Macro)

June 9: Following the Leader (Things in a Line)
Ok...that's it. Now go grab those cameras and get to work!

Here's one I took this past winter down at one of the lakes here in town.
Of course I would welcome any advice 
(but I'm not really sure which is better!)
The whole purpose is for us to go out and take NEW photos, not re-post old ones. I promise not to post again until I have a recent reflection shot. Scout's honor, cross my heart....
I am going to try to get some new reflection shots to add to this thread as well. I don't think they will involve water droplets but somehow my pics end up with water drops in them in one form or another!
