I had to take way too many shots just to get this fuzzy one......

Subtitle: "Epic Fail"

 

At lunch today I decided to go out and try some insect macros. So, I headed out and not 15 feet from the car on an old Oak tree were several dozen of these caterpillars.

 

Sweet! So, I stopped there and started taking pictures with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 and my ring flash. Well, the flash was blowing them out and my shutter speeds were still too slow to hand-hold even at ISO 400 because I was in the shade (to avoid the harsh sunlight). Grr. I tried Manual, I tried TTL with low power -nothing really worked. It was either so slow it'd blur or blown out. Lovely.

 

So, I went back to the car and got my tripod. That worked since the caterpillars weren't moving, but I was really limited as far as the angle went, so the 'straight down' shots weren't so interesting and I came back with nothing but this shot to show for it.

 

I even shot a bunch of photos of a bee in the clover, but had the same issue with the flash. It's obvious I have no idea what I'm doing there. Will try again later.

 

Oh well. At least I got this one shot that shows the cool blue and red dots on the caterpillars. And I also met a biker / artist who gave me a baby buggy he carved out of a cherry pit. I'm taking pics of it for him tonight -they'll be posted by 9pm.

ARCTIC OCEAN - Cheryl Benger, a baker on the crew of the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St-Laurent, serves Barbara Moore, a scientist and member of the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Task Force, a lobster tail during the 2009 Arctic Barbeque aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy Sept. 5.

 

The Arctic barbeque featured a “surf and turf” menu.

 

For the turf offerings, the Healy’s cooks prepared steak, chili and pulled pork.

 

The Canadians prepared smoked salmon, shrimp, scallops and lobster.

 

After the meal, the crews competed in the inaugural Arctic Olympics. Cribbage, foosball, air hockey and a number of interactive video games were just a few of the premier events.

 

The two ships have been taking part in a multi-year, multi-agency Arctic survey that will help define the Arctic continental shelf.

It was like walking on the moon that day

Everything was different and beautiful

If we just could forget about gravity
