<0> but in the middle it has anotehr 'window' of the focal point
<0> it also has a little 'ruler' that says how close or far something should be
<0> mines' got a digital viewfinder and the like. Powershot a95
<1> digital viewfinders aren't crisp enough for manual focus
<2> Yes, the 950 can be modded to shoot IR BW
<1> the window might help a loittle
<1> http://www.hogranch.com/CoolPix/28Oct00/DSCN7106.JPG that little piggy is about 1" high
<3> man i cant wait to go turkey hunting
<1> I used to love to do real macro photography with my 6x7... shoot ektachrome 64 pro film, use two m***ively bright strobes set for 1/3 and 2/3rds of the exposure at 45 degree angles, a 135mm f/4 macro lens on about 9" of extender tubes so the film image was 1:1 real size...
<1> then take the 2-1/4" x 2-3/4" transparencies and get them printed on Cibachrome or Ilfordchrome at 16x20"
<0> how close were you
<0> it looks cropped
<1> um, about 6" :D
<1> well, the front of the lens was, anyways
<1> i was about a foot behind that looking in the viewfinder
<0> 21cm = 8.2 inches.
<0> cool
<4> peerafk
<0> i should try to find something around the house to do super-close like that.
<4> that piggy is the scariest thing i've ever seen
<0> it wants to EAT you
<1> the image size is 55x70mm on that camera, and hte macro lens is a 135mm focal length. I used to use it at effective F/64
<1> and I'd be shooting a 55x70mm original at 1:1 on the tubes
<1> awww, thats a CUTE little pig
<0> http://www.mistrust.ca/gallery2/v/banfftrip/00028.jpg.html this is one of the only close shots i've done
<0> it's not focused terribly well.
<0> my excuse is that bees are fluffy =)
<0> and getting close stings
<1> its really tough to focus in extreme macro. your depth of field is like 1mm or less
<1> I think I did a good job on that pig
<0> yeah.
<0> how many shots did it take to get that one
<1> I preset the camera focus and move it in and out to find the spot
<4> i'm allergic to beestings
<1> here's every one -> http://www.hogranch.com/CoolPix/28Oct00/
<4> sartan: even if you were close
<1> they all came out pretty good.
<4> it's very hard to get a good picture of a bee
<4> they vibrate
<0> so does your mom!
<5> zing!
<0> ahh i see
<0> cable release peer?
<0> ce
<4> peerafk
<4> i'm afraid that pig is going to kill me in my sleep
<1> sartan; nope. didn't have one.
<1> don't think I used a tripod even.
<1> now, I *might have* used one, and done a timer shot, I dunno
<1> this was handheld, for sure -> http://www.hogranch.com/CoolPix/14Sep99/DSCN0892.JPG
<0> that's tough
<0> i couldn't do that my hands aren't steady enough
<1> as was this http://www.hogranch.com/CoolPix/14Sep99/DSCN0891.JPG (flash helps alot :D)
<0> the motion shaking sensor that my camera has doesn't compensate
<1> well, I manaully forced the exposure timing/fstop/asa
<0> so did you bait these guys
<1> nah, that was a bit off someone's lunch plate
<1> they foudn it on their own
<1> pesty little buggers.
<1> yellowjackets, bleah
<0> they bite.
<0> ouchies
<1> no, they sting.
<0> could have sworn they bite. i never seen a stinger on one of them
<1> they can be VERY prevalent around here
<4> sartan
<4> they sting somthing nasty
<4> they are no mud wasp, but they sting pretty bad
<4> mud wasps are angry ****ers.
<4> i'm allergic to them all =]
<1> when they become common, I either track down their nest, then after dark, fill it with yellowjacket foaming death, or I set pheronome traps
<0> oh i see.
<6> is a yellow jacket a wasp?
<1> yes, a wasp
<1> there are two varieties here. one makes paper nests under eaves and stuff, other nests in the ground. both are VERY similar
<4> yellowjacked != wasp
<4> mud wasps make nests in...mud.
<1> its a colonizing wasp
<4> mud wasps are big
<1> they have colonies of 100s
<4> and they sting awful.
<4> i have a picture of myself with a giant wasps nest
<1> most of the ones I've found here on my property have been the in-ground nest variety
<4> http://home.comcast.net/~tandy400/nest.jpg
<4> i think
<4> ya that is it
<1> but elsewhere around central cal, I've run into the paper nest variety
<4> i cut that out of a tree in late fall
<4> it was hollowed out, meaning they bailed the queen out and movedon
<6> on penetration of the skin, muscles around the insect's venom sac begin to inject the venom. the first sensation the person experiences is an intense stinging sensation that is believed to be mediated by the presence of acetycholine and serotonin within the venom
<0> PigmonkeY: hope they were dead.
<4> look at the size of that nest =]
<4> sartan: the nest was vacant
<1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowjacket
<1> wasps.
<1> not solo wasps, but they are still wasps
<6> that guy looks like a hacker
<0> we've got em here too.
<4> phiz: heh.
<1> two kinds. Vespula or Dolichovespula
<0> that article needs some work
<0> i shall take the liberty...
<6> you can tell by his greesy hair and bad color coordination
<1> vespula are underground, and the others are the paper nest kind
<1> sometimes as big as a basketball :(
<0> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Guepe.jpg <-macromode
<4> http://plaza.ufl.edu/petec/Exam%20II/Mud%20dauber%20wasp%201.jpg
<4> that's a mud wasp
<4> peerafk
<4> if you look at that nest
<4> it's bigger than my head
<4> mud wasps ****. that whole thing in the back is one big venom sack
<4> and they are angry
<4> wiki says they almost never sting
<4> musn't be the same wasp i'm thinking of
<1> those things never sting unless you seriously **** up and sit on them or whatever
<1> yellowjackets stings aren't particularlly serious, just very painful, but they are nasty ****ers and will sting you en-m***e if they don't like the way you smell
<1> if I see more than a couple around here, I follow them and find their underground nest, its usally easy to find, aobut a 1" hole with a smooth runway all around it.
<4> 2 or 3 stings are enough to do me in =]
<4> i stepped on a wasp nest once when i was a youngin, ended up going into shock.
<1> then I come back after dark, and empty 1/2 can of foaming yellowjacket death into it.
<4> heh
<0> always had problems with wasps in my life.
<0> always living under the step in front of the door
<1> the foam works great. you can spray it from a couple feet away, goes deep into the hole then foams up.
<4> the guy down the road pours gasoline into the holes and drops a match in
<0> and in the smoke pit at high school
<1> and voila, no more wasps in the AM
<4> i remember when we were kids he'd throw M-80s at bees neests
<4> and then run away
<6> that's not very nice.
<4> they got him back, last year
<4> he had the biggest colony i've ever seen
<4> behind his wall =]
<4> took up the whole space, roof to floor between 1 stud
<4> so that's about 2 feet by 10 feet
<4> both sides
<4> one big nest
<4> they drilled a hole in the wall
<1> this stuff. http://www.enforcer.com/pages/flyingprod.html the spray is for the paper nests that hang under eaves, and the foam is for the in-ground kind.
<4> and pumped can after can of that foam in there
<0> haha
<0> wasps
<4> diddn't kill them all =
<0> my buddy and i used to put the lawnmover over their nest
<0> they'd come out all dizzy and **** if they managed to miss it.
<0> we also used to stick shovels in their underground nest and baseball em
<0> one time we had this chick over in my back yard, pissed htem off hardcore and 300 of them swarmed out and almost got us.
<0> she almost locked us out of the house. that bitch
