Invasion of the caterpillars

The plumeria at the grandparent's place is crawling with tetrio sphinx moth caterpillars. They are fascinating and grow at an astonishing rate. Here are a couple of shots of them:

These were taken with an Olympus E-30 and ZD 70-300mm lens, handheld with macro extension tubes; f/8 at 1/100.

Both of these photographs are available in slightly modified forms via my Etsy shop at http://qnrphotography.etsy.com.

Cameras used in the stratus jump

Popular Photography has an article on the Cameras used in the stratus jump. An interesting video discussing the cameras used and the modifications that they had to make to them.

There is a new shirt up in the shop as of yesterday. "Learn to Adapt" features a 45 RPM adapter and utilizes a font reminiscent of a manual typewriter. You can see it here: Learn to Adapt hand-screened tee.

I seem to be adding more shirts to my Etsy shop than photographs. We actually have a different shop and I'm considering moving all of the non-photographic items over to it.
