So one day I find this Sciforums thing and I find it engaging. First time any of these things struck me as worth the effort of typing.

Anyway, there's this guy I encounter early on who seems quite irreverent, occasionally blasphemous, and is funny as hell. In other words, my kinda guy.;)

It turns out he take snaps.
Photos.
Pitchuas'.
He must be a real tiny little guy tho. I mean, to be able to get that close to those bugs...;)


Seriously, tho: They are amazing!!! Just fucking amazing!!! You gotta check this site!
Many of you already know about this guy's work, but if not, go see, go see.

Enmos' pics fucking rock! Rock like Eddie Van Halen on really good speed.

Enmos quick photo question. I was trying to take some images at last nights Christmas eve dinner with a digital camera. I was using a "night" setting without a flash, which was giving me the warm glow of light I wanted, but all my pics were shaky and unclear. Any suggestions? Maybe less coffee and a tripod...or a faster shutter setting?

If you truly want great pictures in dim light situations you need a DSLR with a lightning fast lens. Shooting in dim light situations is always difficult with a normal digital camera. In fact, I usually avoid it ;)
Not much bugs after dark any way eh ? lol
A tripod might help but keep in mind that if someone moves it will show in the picture due to the long shutter time. Only quick solution is to use flash I'm afraid.. or have everyone sit still while you take the photo.

Thanks Mac, you have a wonderful Christmas !! :)

Actually they are all around. Once you get into it you see them everywhere :D
Of course I have a few fav spots, for the dragonflies for example.
Do you mean any pictures in particular ?

Just if you know its gonna be a full moon and a foggy night, so you plan to take pics. Or are you walking by the window, see the moon against a foggy background, go get the camera?

I don't do nights though :p

Actually, I plan most of my 'shoots'. After work I just go to one or some of my spots and see what's there. Sometimes I'll go find some new territory :)
I always take note of the weather of course in my decisions where to go. The foggy images for example, I saw it was particularly foggy, got in the car in drove to the spot I took the images. I knew the surroundings there, but there was some luck involved of course..

So.. I don't know.. a little bit of everything I suppose.

I use a Nikon Coolpix 8700.. an 'older' compact digital camera really.
So no extra lenses, only the fixed one ;)

- 8x optical zoom

I never use a tripod, not much use with insects anyway.

Different culture, life, look, feel, I guess:shrug:. I was only there for three days before I flew to Sorrento, Italy; so I was unable to see most of the Netherlands. I just enjoy being away from usual life (which is very rare), so almost anywhere different seems beautiful to me.

Dont worry, it wasn't nessesarily the "De wallen" that appealed to me most.

LOL that's not what I meant. I'm just surprised that whenever people talk about a foreign country they have been to being beautiful, they refer to the marvels cities there.
I cannot understand why anybody would find them beautiful..
To me the beautiful of a country is directly related to the nature there.

I saw a little of the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam. Those windmills add a very scenic effect. I really could have stayed longer and gone to different places, but keep in mind that I was traveling with a lot of my realtives and in addition to that, I'm only 16. Since I had very little influence on where my relatives were going, I just made the most out of it. :o

Ok.. lol
The Netherlands has some nice places but there are lots and lots of countries that I think are more beautiful.. maybe it's because I grew up here and I don't see it anymore.

These ones are quite fun - I took them with nothing more fancy than a phone camera pointed down the eyepiece of a microscope.

they are crab larvae - the first one is masked crab: Corystes cassivelaunus

and the second is a common shore crab Carcinus Maenas

No.. I've been told by people to try something in that direction though. For now it's just a hobby :)

if people want to make money in photography they better take pictures of something totally exquisite...not just squirrels in the park or flowers or even insects...nope...they need to go crawl into caves and take picture high definition of lets say bats with closed eyes...they need to take pictures of the flowing waters in North Pole and Greenland ice shelf lakes...

You definitely could with those skills. Of course, I could understand if it's something you like so much you don't want to ruin it by making it your job.
