Some Kind'a "pede"
Went prowling around in the mountains today and at our local photo supply. Found this critter squirmming around on the forest floor. Not a centipede I don't think, much too large.

I believe it's a millipede. Did you trade in your 100mm macro for a 60mm macro? How do you like the difference?

Mike asked:
I like this little lens, sort of an all purpose type in a general way. I have got to pay attention to my settings though, quite different from the 100mm since I am much closer to the subject and I am going to have to cut up a milk jug or something to make a diffuser.
Nope, still have the 100mm. I was checking on my battery grip to see if it had arrived yet and they had this EF-S 60mm Macro out where I could see it. So you know how it is, started fiddling around with it and left with it. Got my off camera flash cord too today. Now I got to get that flash bracket.Did you trade in your 100mm macro for a 60mm macro? How do you like the difference?

WOW KEN
You got a photo of the extremely rarest of all 'pedes This is the "bumble-pede", Diplopoda bombus. It is considered to represent the evolutionary link between millipedes and bumble bees. Send this one to National Geographic
Very cool image, my friend

Sven asked:
No, sorry Sven. I only took this one but they are quite common in our forests here in North Carolina. Thanks!Wow, what a cool critter! Do you have more images of him?

Hehe Ken, if you got the time: how about a little series then? I'd really love to see more of them.:) Ken wrote: [...] but they are quite common in our forests here in North Carolina.

Sure thing Sven. I am always prowling these mountains in search of strange stuff for my microscopes and such. I do see them quite often when I am up there but now that someone wants to see a little more of them, they will probably all go and hide. I will see what I can do.

You could put together a 'Pede Portfolio of shots with macro lens from different aspects, distances, andmagnifciations, and closeups of interesting stuff with the microscope also.

That is a thought Mike, since I don't have one of those MP E whatever they are, the Meiji would work fine for that. I am heading to the mountains in about an hour or so. I was thinking of going to the Asheville Aroboretum but being memorial day weekend, I probably could not get a parking place there, it's beautiful, especially the bonsi gardens.You could put together a 'Pede Portfolio of shots with macro lens from different aspects, distances, andmagnifciations, and closeups of interesting stuff with the microscope also.

Sue replied:
Thanks Sue.
And depleteing my bank account too! Believe me, I reasoned with myself for about 20 min. whether or not I really need that lens, since I was a long way from being proficent with the one I already had. But I figured I'd best get it while I could.You sure are building up your equipment inventory
Thanks Sue.
