bob_linscombe 0 Posted March 28, 2003 Since I've got a similar camera (C700UZ), I've got a few questions. Is this a crop? Was this using super macro mode? What's the smallest frame area you can capture with your camera? Pretty nice macro. Thanks Link to comment
markskelly 0 Posted March 28, 2003 I can't really remember ever seeing a spider photographed when its upsidedown. Nice idea. Link to comment
sambal 0 Posted March 29, 2003 Bob, the technical details, as supplied by the software of the camera are: Make OLYMPUS OPTICAL CO.,LTD; Model C730UZ; Orientation: upper left; X resolution: 72; Y resolution: 72; Software: v556u-78; Datetime: 2003:03:28 13:45:15; YCbCr positioning: co-sited; Exposure time: 1/125 s; F-number: 3.2; Exposure program: Normal program; ISO speed ratings: 64; Date/time original: 2003:03:28 13:45:15; Date/time digitized: 2003:03:28 13:45:15; Component config: YCbCr; Exposure bias value: 0.7; Max. aperture value: 3.4; Metering mode: Pattern; Light source: sunlight filtered thru light clouds & the needles of a pine tree; Flash: No; Focal length: 9.7 mm; Colorspace: sRGB; Pixel X dimension: 2048; Pixel Y dimension: 1536. The picture published here is a crop of the original. It was taken in super macro mode, hand-held, with manual focussing at about 7 cm. I took about 10 shots before one materialized that was a bit OK. The spider web swung in the breeze. The spider moved too ! Thanks for your interest. P.S.: Below I've now added a thumbnail of the original photograph, showing some properties, and giving an idea how much it has been cropped. Link to comment
sambal 0 Posted March 29, 2003 Mark, to put things in the right perspective: it was not my idea, but the tiny spider had decided to hang upside down :-) Link to comment
markskelly 0 Posted January 29, 2004 OK, the spider had the good idea. But, you got the good photo! Link to comment
