So great to see all the different things people make and grow, and visit all the animals.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-73706708699835416042014-08-21T10:52:53.492-07:002014-08-21T10:52:53.492-07:00Good luck, bb!

I've considered submitting, too, but like most things, I haven't actually gotten around to doing it. I hope you get a ribbon or two for your mounting troubles.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-31451723114691262952014-08-18T12:56:56.077-07:002014-08-18T12:56:56.077-07:00Nice.

I expect more general nature-y images would have stiff competition since we're near Yosemite, but why not try?<br /><br />FUNNY you should say that re: compound eyes, 'cause I was JUST wondering about that YESTERDAY. I photo'd a super cute grasshopper from above, but it's "pupils" seemed aimed right at me. Very interesting... I hope you'll post whatever you figure out. Simultaneous photos from a few different directions would be cool to compare.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-82245109892275216612014-08-18T11:58:21.677-07:002014-08-18T11:58:21.677-07:00Yep, the bark does it for me too.

A dragonfly photographer once told me that the 'pupil of the eye' effect with compound eyes can happen from any direction. I've often meant to put it to the test by having two observers look at the same eye from different directions, to find out if they can both see the 'pupil'.Imperfect and Tensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348507012722069785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-29104792472846729152014-08-18T11:16:19.062-07:002014-08-18T11:16:19.062-07:00We'll see re: the fair, but I TOTALLY agree re...We'll see re: the fair, but I TOTALLY agree re: the crab spider. SO beautiful, and I just love their shape. And how incredibly well they can manipulate their body to not EVEN look like a spider. =)biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-79678962431556846812014-08-18T10:27:21.733-07:002014-08-18T10:27:21.733-07:00These are all spectacular -- I'm sure you'...These are all spectacular -- I'm sure you'll be your own biggest competition at the fair!
