Nics pics! Maybe just a bit dark?
But what I'm curious about...
Near the bottom of the second flower, there is what looks like the world's teeniest little measuring worm.
Is it really that, or something else? Just how big is this flower?

Hovering is the only way I could have gotten these images. It is just too darned hard to follow a moving dragonfly with, and manually focus, what is basically a 600mm f 5.6 lens. I tried a few times. These buggers just move too darned fast :!: :shock: :D Don't I know it! One of my wonderful childho...

Re: Have you ever seen a dragon fly?
Sorry, Rik. I just couldn't help making a play on one of your topic titles. :D Not a problem. I vaguely recollect that I was playing off the crows in Disney's Dumbo movie...just so you know where this material really comes from. :lol: These pics are promising. That first one nicely shows off the qu...

Weird! My LCCN is the same as Bernhard's, and I've got Fig.121 on pg.81 showing P.agilis. Mine shows "T.L.Jahn" on the cover and "Theodore Louis Jahn, M.Sc., Ph.D. and Frances Floed Jahn, M.Sc." on the title page. Oddly enough it says "Copyright 1949 by H.E. Jaques" -- not by Wm.C.Brown Company as I...

Re: Small and round world
Did you notice different camera type this time? I did, actually. :D As well as different date -- June 2005. I commented to my wife that it looked like this fellow might be "cherrypicking" the archives for great shots -- and if so I love it 'cuz the pictures are very nice to look at :!: :D --Rik

Hi Ken, Are you talking about the book " How to know the protozoa" by Jahn? 'cause in that book I find something on Astasia on p. 71 only. My copy of that book also has Astasia only on p.71. But I have the 1949 edition. Amazon says there is also a 1970 edition. Perhaps that's what Ken has? On the o...

I think green guy is going to change his clothes. I think the yellow guy just did change his clothes, and the "green guy" is them! (The jagged outline and the little white fibers on the green one are typical of shucked skins, and it looks to me like the yellow one doesn't have its wings fully expan...

Re: Mmmmm... sweet nectar... slurp, slurp
I like Olympus SP-320 because I can easy push my hand into any bush and shoot. :wink: It's working well for you. It also makes your pictures stand out in the forum because we don't see much wideangle macro work. The wideangle gives a completely different relationship of foreground to background -- ...

Nice!
Focal length 8mm -- is that the extreme wide-angle setting for that camera?
The advertisements & reviews say 38-114mm "35mm equivalent". I calculate a 5X crop factor based on sensor size 7.18 x 5.32mm, so I'm thinking that the lens is actually 8-24mm?

Lovely! Great colors -- I especially like the blue sky behind the yellow butterfly. Technically excellent -- perfect exposure, good DOF & focus placement, and a surprisingly noise-free out-of-focus background. I think this is the forum's first post with this type camera (Olympus SP-320). The picture...

Folks, Thanks for the additional info. I did a bit of searching about Amanita and found (as usual!) that the world is more complicated than I had thought. I had always thought that the Amanita 's were universally lethal. It seems that's not correct. Amanita muscaria in particular is widely discussed...
