Zoe's First Nymphs

[Opivy]

Hah, recently put Deathalbum II on my ipod. (which I just got! Finally got rid of CDs)

Couldn't really get into them. The heaviest stuff I listen to is Pantera and Dimmu Borgir

 

[ZoeRipper]

This is turning into something like Katnapper's pic of the day!

Here's the two good pics I could get of an L1 or L2 S limbata nymph. So little! So lively! So difficult to photograph!

Number 1: This is a closeup, kinda crappy but I like it.

Number 2: Just a cute little nymph.

And here's me in all my snowy glory! Yay snow!

 

[Katnapper]

I love the close up of the cute little nymph! :wub: But I love the photo of you in the snow more... that's great!

 

[PhilinYuma]

Cute pix, especially the last one! I always wondered what Blaziken looked like under his mask!

 

[ZoeRipper]

Oh my dear sweet Jesus.

I got a Canon PowerShot SX120 IS for Christmas.

And I tested the macro mode, and it's friggin' perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Look at this.

Is that a new model? Never heard of that one. :lol:

 

[ZoeRipper]

Oh god lol.

I didn't even notice that.

No, that's what happens after I eat Chili :lol:

 

[Katnapper]

Yay for you, Zoe!! I hope you'll have fun with your new toy... and I know exactly the subjects on which you can put it to good use.

No, that's what happens after I eat Chili :lol:

Blame the 'i' being close to the 'o' on the keyboard! Nice pictures!

 

[ZoeRipper]

EVEN MOAR PIX0RX!

 

[ZoeRipper]

We got internet back!

Wahaha!

Here's some of my better pics from before my sweetheart mantis molted to L5 (YESSSSSS!)

Kinda late, but they're slightly holiday-oriented.

Tadahh!

It's good to be back!

 

[Katnapper]

Glad you're back online, Zoe! Your pics with the mantis on the berries is cute. ^_^ Now you need to work on a pleasing background, hehe!

 

[ZoeRipper]

Haha, instead of a shadowy version of my dresser?

Perhaps I should.

 

[ZoeRipper]

How's that for a pleasing background, eh Kat?

Cute little mantis with a cute big man behind!

(My lovely hubby)

S Limbata, check out the stripes on those raptoral arms!

Cute mantis! Canon Powershot has very bright flashlight. You could try cover the light with tissue paper to avoid overexpose when taking a macro shot from close distance.

Thanks Yen! I'll try that next time.

Yeah, it reduces the light and softens (diffuses) it, too. You can use the same trick if you are taking a picture of someone outside, with the light behind them. The flash will act as a diffused "fill in light." You can save a lot of pix that way!
