Title: Yellow and red spider
Post by: moyer777 on June 22, 2009, 12:11:46 AM
I found this pretty amazing spider on my rose bush tonight.  My mom held the blossom while I snapped the pictures.  What do you think?

Rick, are you using diopters or a macro lens?
Title: Re: Yellow and red spider
Post by: moyer777 on June 22, 2009, 08:18:49 AM
a macro lens.  But it's borrowed.  I'm bidding right now on the 3 ring system by Kenko.  It's about a quarter of the cost and it's supposed to work the same way.

You are like ob-SESSED.  How many times did you see The Incredible Shrinking Man or The Fly?

some would say obesessed, others would say curious and creative.  :)  I just love taking pictures of the world we don't usually see.  :)

Even though I hate spiders, it's still a cool looking spider.

Do you know if you get the same depth of field?  I've only seen them I've never had a chance to use them.

Title: Re: Yellow and red spider
Post by: Omra on June 28, 2009, 04:44:58 PM
I don't know why people are so negative about camera jokes, maybe it is the over-exposure....

Good one Hawkeye, I never saw that one coming.  You Blindsided me!

Its all a 'flash' in the pan Rico, though this joke maybe a bit over exposed now. ;-)

I don't know I kind of like how this thread has "developed"
Title: Re: Yellow and red spider
Post by: Omra on June 29, 2009, 07:06:40 PM
Some of these jokes are leaving a bad film in my mouth, and a little light headed...

But we are on a roll, these jokes come easily if you are in the right frame of mind. :biggrin

I think this thread may get filtered by the end of the day.

Yeah, Rico or Kenny may put a lens cap on it.

Or lock us up in a padded zoom.  That could be developing soon, I dont think their humor lense itself to our punultimate style of humor.

Though I have yet to be pinned to the matte by any complains from other viewers.  Are there any twelve step programs for Photoshopaholics?  I looked in the paper but maybe I glossed over them...
