(video) in my eyes

Alright,

 

when i was cleaning my room i found this dead wasp on my window sills. it was dry like death valley in the summer of '69 (i dont exactly know how dry it was then, but you get the picture, don't you).

At first i just wanted to get rid of the corpse, but then i thought: hey, why not macro that critter?

I also wanted to test the video on my 40d feature (see bottom for link).

I used the nifty fifty lens by canon and on top of that: My raynox MSN505 super macro lens (originally bought for my s3is). if only i had used a tripod.

the wasp's head did not come off intentionally, it just fell off, i swear. On the other hand, maybe it did NOT fall off by accident? Whatcha gonna do, call PETA? Just kidding, it really fell off on it's own, because it's so dry and stuff.

I couldnt help but lace the video with the likes of "Stevie B" and the song "in my eyes". somehow my virtualdub skills failed me though.

 

 

Anyhows, thats it for a first video test.

 

to learn more about video @ 40d visit valexvir.narod.ru/ (it's in russian, use google to translate - unless you happen to be russian!)

 

edit: damn, i think i will upload a new version of this video soon, this time with a correct audio file :D

 

update: on popular request you can see a still macro shot here.

Done
