Just got a new digital camera, a Canon Powershot sx150 is. I LOOOVVEE It!

I went to the farmers market this past sunday and got to take alot of fun shots with the macro settings. I can really tell the difference between this camera and a normal point and shoot.

I love macro photography so very much and am in the process of saving for a macro lens for my dslr camera. These were all taken on a Canon S5 IS with the macro function.

time for some thread necromancy :D

had a broken (unwanted) mouse to fiddle with, sometimes the coolest parts can be found in the lamest objects. NSFW tags due to image size.

here's a nice die shot:

the *click* you hear pressing a mouse button is emitted by this little box:

these switches sometimes need replacement, there are a few different models with different characteristics but Omron is the company that supplies them for most manufacturers

and here's what it looks like inside the box:

it's basically a spring switch. these are rated for a MTBF of about 15-20m clicks
 
Good bump, thujone. I have a shipping list for my DSLR camera and a good macro lens may have just shot to tho top thinking of some cool stuff I could do.
 
thanks :) i'm having a lot of fun with these, here's some more

^ nice. the world looks very different through a macro lens.

Excellent photos and educational at the same time :)
 
cheers guys, glad it was informative will deffo keep that in mind for next time
 
this is a vacuum fluorescent display. in the 80s and 90s the majority of small high-contrast displays were wee vacuum tubes with some kind of light filter in front, usually green or amber. most VCR and microwave oven and in-car displays were vacuum fluorescent, so this was popular tech until around the time CRT displays started to fall out of fashion.

the design is basically that of a triode and there's a good article on the role of the control grid (honeycomb filament) that lies between the cathodes and anodes. basically, the heated cathodes shoot electrons through the grid at the phosphor-coated anodes which glow in response. is it just me, or does that sound a bit pornographic? :p
 
Anyone have/have experience with this Nikon 40mm macro lens? Price wise definitely at the low end of the market but would it be a good lens for me to get for first experiments with macro? Or other suggestions?
 
Another quality thujone post. I've probably looked at the time on my microwave at least 20 times today but never thought further than that.

Some tabs I have open will be bookmarked because I've got an inkling that my watch has a LCD display. Display types, excellent.
 
thanks :) the right-underneath-our-noses aspect is what i found interesting about it as well. was hoping to light it up but found the vac seal broken, would take ~3kV to do so now and i don't have the equipment
