not for a bit... medazonking. darnit.
the info there changed the point where I plan to move the mounting socket on this camera by a little bit. not much, focal length is only 6-18mm.
a properly leveled tripod with pan should be fine- with an offset plate for the pan point on the camera. you like tools, so I thought you might be interested.
kind of a two-fer.

That tripod that I mounted the slide light box on has a pan head. The attachment bars that go with it will allow me to rig it so that the camera is mounted offset. I should have everything I need. Just need to attach a level. Then I'll have to take the entire apparatus to higher ground to take pictures. I'm completely and tightly surrounded by trees, in this little valley.
Lots of nice panoramas on that site.

Not a windshield. It's way smaller.

No not sunglasses, window glass or visor. Nothing man made and it's smaller than any of those.

Not stone or volcanic glass.

Now that I look at MD49 a little closer, some of the greenish color is probably coming from the object itself and some from nearby hemlock trees with the brown/gold from dead leaves. You can see the tall, leafless trees reflected in the dark part.

Oh, you are GOOD, Goody! Yes, it's an animal eye. Can you be more specific?

probably a dog, but a fast shot could catch a bird. can't see the pupil shape, darn it, but I recall a certain mutt's nose... be a trick to catch a squirrel or cat. Though I can't rule it out.
looks like a pretty large reflective radius- you got a cow or a horse?
the evidence says a dark-to-black lid and a tan color the other side.

It's a cat eye. That's my Mitchie. Isn't he handsome?

Another toy for you: FUTURE PHYSICS. Toss the planets around a bit. It'll give you a god-like feeling. :D

Believe me, that was a hard shot to get. I have a slew of pictures of the top of his head and blurs of fur.
Here's a nice profile of him that I got the same day.

Well, I should get half-credit for saying the word "lens".

I went to that FUTURE PHYSICS site. I stopped all the planets on the page. Then I set up 8 of them at one end like bowling pins. I took Jupiter to the other end and threw it at them. STRIKE!!!

here's the only way I've found to get decent closeups- shoot from the outside of a window!
here's another I titled jebus surveys drain.

here's a nicely esoteric one: G What is it 031.
off to sleep- when I wake up I'll see how puzzled you are.
here's a hint that'll really throw you- it evolved from the logging industry.

I asked this the other day and no one replied.. so I'm repeating my question!
what am I doing wrong? I tried to post something on 'what is it', and it came out so teensy after I cropped it, and then when I tried to enlarge it, it became all pixelated??? Like here: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/copmom_photo/whatIsItcrop.jpg
and here's the full sized one: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg264/copmom_photo/whatIsIt.jpg

And by the way.. got this shot from indoors, through the window, of one of our cats in the tree after some peanut butter hubby smeared on the tree! The woodpeckers love the peanut butter!
