Tonight, I got this neat picture off the bridge at Wolf Creek after several boats went by.

Taken with my Canon S3 IS and my invaluable tripod - I love these last light of the day shots!

I like #1 the best, where you can see the sky and tell the day is almost gone.

I partially used my optical zoom, but I almost never use my digital zoom anymore - I find that it compromises the pic quality to an unacceptable level. The refuge was full of deer tonight, too, but I was trying to get to the lake and catch the last light.

With the limitations of my camera, unless the deer are really close or I'm able to use a tripod, my deer pics rarely turn out as good as my lake pics. I might try the deer again when I get a DSLR and a decent zoom lens, like something in the 300-400mm range.

Heh, we do that too - but we usually stop at the Carterville DQ on the way out of the Refuge! Less mess and C'ville DQ is the best one around! Only trick is to keep the kids quiet and content til we get to DQ -that's prolly why you let 'em have it in the car, huh? :)
