Meet my new baby, SPLINTER!

Playing with my bellows unit with SMC Takumar 1:2/55 lens, 1/60 @ f4, effective magnification ~ 15x

Note added Sept 14/07: This was taken with my Pentax K10D - I forgot to factor in the magnification factor for the digital camera when I posted the pic. With the 1.5 factor, it comes out to closer to 21x effective magnification

it wasn't much of a picture taking weekend.... aside from this.

a weak split in this tree gave way and smashed a car... the sounds was like an earthquake - within 5 hours the branch was cleared and the the rest of the tree cut down and tunred into a pile of chips... as if it had never happend. very exciting stuff!

Beautiful dried leaves, roots and wood on the FSU campus, behind The Church.
