Glatt-
My daughter got one of those in a gift exchange for Christmas in July at her daycare. It lasted the drive home. Poor kid was heartbroken. /hijack

I don't have a camera to post my own otherwise I would. I have to steal I guess.

Elspode. That's some stick. I was expecting a 'real walking stick' silly me.

That is some wild mushroom Kitsune.

I don't know what that green spinning light is Big V. I am crying uncle.

BigV · 09-01-2006, 10:31 AM

Ok. Uncle it is.

Borelight.

That is a green led at the bottom of a muzzleloader barrel, four feet deep and half an inch across.

At camp this year, we got a chance to learn all about firing a muzzleloader, and part of that process was cleaning them. At the end of the cleaning procedure, before reassembly, the barrel was inspected with this tool. Since a muzzleloader's barrel is more like a cup than a tube (ok, a really long tall thin narrow cup with a tiny leak at the bottom...nevermind), the borelight had to be dropped in from the muzzle and when it slid to the bottom, we were able to inspect it with the light it cast on the inside of the barrel. This is a picture of what I saw.

How to roll your own.

Someone else do it, and tell me what's there.

I love the shots here...closeup work is amazing. I do a wee bit of stuff myself tho my camera is not nearly what I'd wish...I have a penchant for bugs, flowers, and horrible color combinations.

This is a snifty lil green horned caterpillar guy on my boyfriend's arm...would not face the camera!

Identified as Acanthocephala terminalis, leaf-footed bug, tho he looks more leaf-legged to me...

Carpenter ants. Dead. Much preferable that way.

oh, ohooooo verry interesting!! I didn't know there were such things.

My next guess would have been a dark room light or a stage light of some sort.

hee! thanks!
My camera is a Sharp TM150 camera phone with a whopping one and a half pixels, but when things sit still on the closeup setting, it can do some nifty stuff.

Guess when I get a real camera my head will explode with joy

xoxoxoBruce · 09-02-2006, 10:55 PM

If you get the camera, honey, we got the threads.

Elspode · 09-03-2006, 04:30 PM

Well, those are the best phonecam shots I've seen to date.

thank ya muchly...I had another phonecam for a bit, a Samsung something or another, but the pix were not so good. I guess the extra half an MP helps a lot.
