Awesome pictures all!

Kitsune · 03-30-2006, 08:24 AM

That looks like one pissed-off cat!

One of our radiator valves. This is about an inch long.

Current one on left is not a choking hazard, because of the outstreched arms. I prefered the look of the old one, on the right, but kids can die when they play with them, so it's good they are gone.

Last one.

Guess what it is.

OOOHH!!!

New thread..."GUESS WHAT IT IS" Can't wait to get home and mess around tonight. I promise, no ultra close ups of my kids finger

Not that I have a clue what the last white cardboardy thingie is. First thought was cross section of a clean air filter.

Lampshade?

(awesome window screen shot, by the way! I love it!)

glatt · 03-30-2006, 09:09 AM

Kitsune wins. It's a lampshade.

A "guess what it is" thread would be most awesome! I don't have a real macro lens, though. Glatt, what are you shooting with?

glatt · 03-30-2006, 09:27 AM

I'm using my trusty old digital camera.

Nikon Coolpix 950. It's 7 years old at this point, but still pretty damn good.

Have you ever tried the reverse the lens trick on your SLR? It's awkward, but you can get some interesting things that way. I played around with it on my old manual focus SLR. Don't know if it will work with a fully automated one.

Yes, I've got a Coolpix 880 (IIRC) -- I'm still amazed how close you can get up to stuff. Sometimes I need to prefocus it on a high-contrast target -- hold the button halfway down -- and then move it to the subject to get it to focus at < 4in.

Another satisfied CP950 user. 2MP, unacceptable shutter lag, the battery cover only stays on with duct tape and the switch on the shutter doesn't work exactly right. But I still use it.

Hey, the water drop shot is awesome! You've done ol' Doc Edgerton proud.
