Don't drink to much of the lake water.

This might happen.

Just kidding. The rooster tail was operating this weekend.

The water used to create the display comes from flows in excess of what is needed for power generation at full capacity.The "rooster tail" discharge comes through the dam's outlet slide gates, nicknamed "flip buckets," which send water dozens of feet into the air, creating an arch of spray into the Boise River. The "rooster tail" has been observed reaching heights up to about 150 feet. It last operated in 2008 and 2006.

Jerry nice photos. I wish I could find the one with the Eifel Tower between my legs that we took in college 8) 8)

Is there a name for these type of photos?

Thanks cman, I'd love to see that shot too. If you find it, please post it!

There must be a name of sorts, but I have never seen it, and I frequent photography forums.

I have a photographer friend who is a master of this sort of thing.
Some of his thinking just astounds me at times.

Here he is posing for me in a double exposure el-cheapo film camera shot (Holga) I took.
I won a ribbon at the camera club with this print against some high-dollar camera guys.

I titled it "Shooting and Chimping".

(Chimping is the term used for looking at the shot you just took on your digital camera.
Many times you look kind of like a monkey doing it.)
