Have you ever tried taking a pic of a bat? At night? In flight?

Yes. It's not easy. I stood with my camera outside a house infested with bats and took picture after picture as they flew out at dusk, and the overwhelming majority never came out. You need an enormous and super powerful flash.

This was the best one out of about 30 tries.

Hard on batteries, too. I was standing in the dark, camera set to infinity, button pushed down halfway, waiting...waiting...I lost count how many blank shots I took.

I will have to try that. We have a ton of brown bats in our area. I think they just live in the trees.

Most excellent. Looks like it's floating in mid air.

Thank you.

He (?) and his mates were quite tame. Trained practically, I petted the nose of one that was begging begging begging (unsuccessfully) for food. I'll find it and post it. I like how the look of his fins are echoed by the palm fronds dipping into the water above him.

Here are a couple shots from the neighborhood showing the gravid cherry trees. They're just bursting with blossoms, and we had a bit of weather which shook the trees. The petals practically make "snowdrifts" of lovely pink.

those are neat pics you've taken

I thought this was the right thread...:D

Thx.

Wheat.

It's what's for beer.

I like the way your camera takes pictures grav. I think, I asked before, but lost track of the post. What camera are you using?

What camera is that taken with grav? If you don't mind me asking. :)

Probably not something I can afford.

Very cheap on eBay.

Beware the wall charger, though. Mine was/is a piece of crap. Fell apart in my hands, and I had to glue it together. Prolly one in a million. Didn't expect that from Kodak.

Pretty tough, I've dropped mine twice, once onto carpet, once a glancing bounce off the countertop onto the kitchen floor. Like a Timex, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Literally smaller and thinner than my wallet.

Might want to hit refresh after you follow the link.

ETA: To be fair there may be some tweaking here and there in some pics.

Grav, that house in your pic is my dream house.... thanks for feeding my fantasy. :thumb:
