foxgrrlMy life has been getting very interesting very fast. New boss at work – who was my old boss at a previous company. Oh, and Nyah is coming to stay with me ♥ ♥ ♥
There was a bee, taking a short bee-break on my car window at sunset. So I took her picture. (I only had natural light to work with here, so the images aren't as razor-sharp as usual.)
Here's a cropped image, that's scaled down less than the above. (The original looks just the the above. I was only using a reversed 50mm lens. so there is only one focal-length and magnification.)
I accidentially overexposed one frame, and – this may just be a reflection of the sky – but this bee appears to have blue eyes.
They – you know THEY – are shutting down power to our building, where I work, this weekend. So it's a perfect time to completely rewire the QA lab, and do some other IT stuff. Here are some "Before" pictures. Actually, about one third of the equipment has already been pulled out at this point when I took these pictures. So it's not nearly as impressive as it could possibly be... (Taken with my, widest angle, 18mm lens.)
For whoever it was asking me about the dust reference images: The aperture does matter when trying to image the dust on the CCD. (These were shot with the Nikon ED 55-200mm "G" lens at 200mm. I have lenses with worse vignetting than this. The effect is exaggerated here — I stretched out the curve.) (Yes I cleaned my CDD after this, this was from the recent trip to DC/VA/PA/MD/etc.)
