Clearly not a good picture but all I have is the camera on my phone.
Ran into this huge mantis on Friday, he is protecting my lavendar bush, he was still around after the storm.
He is much larger in real life than the pic gives him justice for.

There is some seriously good stuff here. You guys are talented to be sure. Makes me embarrassed to post my amateurish stuff.

While I did not take it, this is one I acquired from a friend as a going away gift when I left the Targeting shop at 8AF. It's about 11x14, framed with an engraved plaque that reads "USAF Targets. Delivering Love 2000lbs at a time"

Probably the biggest one I've seen ever.

Camera Body Suggestions
 

I have a Canon T1i with a nifty 50 and am wanting something better with a full frame sensor. I have the other stock zoom lenses but they are mediocre so I don't use them. A buddy has a Nikon 300s and it is considerably better so I am leaning toward Nikon.

Camera body suggestions???? -full size sensor and hd video is a must

Re: Photography Thread
 

Full sensor Canon is the 5D Mark II, I have a Canon 60D. I have found that getting Great Glass aka Lenses is the way to go, buying low end lenses is a waste of money.

Re: Photography Thread
 

The 5DmII is solid and you can't go wrong. I also have a 7D and it's performance is top knotch, actually better than my 5DmII (but the image quality is a little better for the 5DmII). Buy good glass...always...and learn the ins and outs of each lens like your life depends on it. Having two lenses that you can do anything with is better than 5 lenses you can barely control.

As for Nikon, the only thing I don't like about Nikon (and I do mean the only thing that doesn't have to do with software/operating systems) is that each line requires different lenses, whereas a Canon EF lens fits almost any Canon camera...film or digital. But if you get to know Nikon well and enjoy it, stay with what you use well.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I am beginning to outgrow my Canon S95 Point and Shoot so I just pulled the trigger on my first DSLR. I got a Canon T3i with a 18-135 EF-S IS lens along with a UV filter and some other goodies. I figured that would be good to start, I am sure once I fall further down this slope I will upgrade lenses quickly. Once everything shows up and I snap a few photos I will be sure to put some up.

Love that first one! I just sent u a contact request on flickr Jeff

Re: Photography Thread
 

I've had my T2i for about a year and a half, good camera. Do wish I would have spent a little more on the 60D, but I'm happy. Rented a 24-105mm L lens and man, that makes a HUGE difference. I few of the pics above were taken with it. Scraping together the money to buy the 24-105....can't wait!! :tu

Re: Photography Thread
 

Added brother!

Re: Photography Thread
 

This place is a bad place to be if you're trying to save for a lens. Soon you'll see all that money going "up in smoke" lol

I'll have some more pix up on here and flickr come end of the month or so; Me and the wife are going to visit my aunt and uncle up in New Englad. We are going to hit up Amish Country, Philly, Boston, NYC, Lizzie Borden's house, and places around CT as well.

Re: Photography Thread
 

No kidding! I can sell some vacation at work after the first of the year, that should help.

You got some nice pics on your Flickr account. The jet pics are freakin awersome!!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Ahh! A thread I can jump head first into!

Photography was something I always wanted to get into when I was young, but it was too expensive (mistakes on film get costly), and I'm one that learns by doing. But when digital SLRs came down to around $1000, I jumped in.

I've been shooting on and off for about 4 years now. I really need to have the passion to shoot, otherwise my shots just look like anyone else's photos. But when I'm really in the mood to shoot, it's obvious that I put feeling into each shot.

I'm terrible at picking out what's my good work and clumsy work, I'm my own worst critic, but I think these are some of my better ones.

Re: Photography Thread
 

It kinda reminds me of an amp tube, the old style.

Awesome pics!!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Bingo! It's a 12AX7 vacuum tube macro.

For those that don't know, it's a preamp tube that's about the diameter of a nickel, and about 2.5" tall.

Here is a quick images I found on google.

My shot is a macro of the internal wiring. Those flat copper bands you see welded to the copper pins are about the thickness of a hair, and the pins are about .5mm

Re: Photography Thread

Good guess, I didn't think they were that "messy" looking but at that magnification I can see why they appear that way.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I have a Canon S95 as my pocket camera that I use for underwater everyday stuff. I started looking at strobes last night, but I don't think I will invest in one. Maybe if I stay down here for another year. I just ordered a Canon T3i with 18-135 EF-S kit lens as my first DSLR. I will not be buying an enclosure for the DSLR, way to much money.
