Many players have issues with Dual-disc... It's a problem with the dual-disc technology (or lack of) itself.

I hope you do know that it's a reduced version of the Dynalo... The PSU in that is a standard LM317/337 power supply, not the dual-tracking, double regulated supply as designed by Dr. Gilmore.

A butterfly.. Actual file is quite large, hence a clickable thumbnail. This is a direct crop. This dragonfly was quite photo-friendly.. Unfortunately, a few others were relatively territorial and chased it away after a while.. Image re-sized.. Been a long decade since I ran around catching spiders.. And have since forgotten most of the names of spiders.. Heh.. This is also a direct crop..

The Rifa's are dark sounding... Nichicon Muse FA & Finegolds are brighter and more bass heavy.. Hence, the difference in sound..

LOL... If you don't hear from me anymore after I go in, you know what's happening, ay? hehe...

It was handheld.. My camera has anti-shake but it wasn't switched on at the time (I forgot to charge my batteries and I was trying to conserve power.. LOL..).

The beetle was taken at: F5.6, 1/30s. No flash. The fly thingy was taken at: F5.6, 1/200s. Ext flash fired.

Thanks for the kind comments.. Somehow I find it easier to shoot the insects well than plants.. Then again, it could have been the winds blowing the plants.. Heh..

I really wanna go out to get a macro-reversing ring just so that I can get a close-up next time.. So.. Anyone knows what these bugs are? Wanted to get more shots of this beetle but some stupid ant walked into the beetle and it flew off.. *sigh*

Can someone ID the bug?

Rameish: I think you shouldn't bother.. Not that I don't think he can cough out the cash for it.. But that the D70 doesn't have Mirror Lock-up required to use the OP. =P And you could have told me how much the lens cost before I was holding it the other day.. Sheesh..

Aye.. Each have their places.. But you can't deny that a Prime is better than a Zoom granted both use the same technologies. A prime simply has less elements and moving parts that it'd give better image quality (if the film/ sensor allows). Of course, you do lose convenience of zooms. And you'd notice that quality zooms like Canon L lenses have a small zoom range. The exception being the lens mounted on the Pro1 for which the sensor doesn't have the resolving ability to tell. Heh.. You win some, lose some..

It's a Lomo camera. Do a search on Google for "Lomography" to find out more.

For you (D)SLR users, just get a prime lens.. LOL.. Prime lens = No zoom. Prime lens + legs = Zoom. LOL..

When you go in, ask for any of the three brothers, Adam, Douglas or Genghis. They offer good service and usually better prices if you're a good/ regular customer. The ER-20 are $25 a pair, IIRC. You may be able to knock off a dollar or two though.

They've changed to the better Howard Leight earplugs already.. No more of that silly white pair of plastic thingies....

If you want something cheap, you can try getting the Howard Leight AirSoft ear-plugs.. Get someone to buy from e-mart for ya.. Only $0.70 a pair.. And they work pretty well too..

How about the not-so-dark-side? LOL..

Hrmm... But a star isn't an asteroid, ay?

Her face isn't as sharp as it should be... hehe... You guys need this lens: Co'mon.. It's only 16Kg and 88cm long...

Andri: The first of the 3 in the cosplay set is actually IMO, well done. You hit the R.o.T. with it. Unfortunately, the focus seems to be on her *ahem* bosom? *naughty* *naughty*

There're rich squirts who know nuts about photography but just buy the most expensive available.. LOL.. I don't believe that the cheapest DSLR can't produce a good shot in the hands of a skill photographer. Nor do I believe that a EOS 1Ds MK II with a nice CZJ lens can produce good shots in the hands of a hopeless photographer. Anyway, the low cost of the DSLR doesn't relate to how the pictures turn out. And I've seen people who buy a Canon EOS 350D and at least 2 Canon L lenses to go with it. Also EOS1Ds MK II users who do not use L lenses..

Heh... You'd be surprised.. I've seen DSLR's in the wrong hands taking far worse pictures than happy-snappy char-bor cameras in the right hands.. Sometimes you really wonder if the pictures were swapped.. hehe..

I successfully made the camera dissapear.. Well... No.. I dismantled the lens from the A85 and placed it inside Wcon for a shot.
