Is it weird that I see sexual organs in the first couple?

Shpoop · 02-12-2005, 03:14 PM

they are sexual organs, marq! or at least reproductive organs. ok, enough with the bio crap, yes they are flowers, orchids to be specific. i just wish i could find out how to not have it a circle

Not at all, man. Just look up paintings by Georgia O'Keefe. She was famous for paintings depicting flowers; but, if you squinted your eyes just enough, you'd swear you were looking at porn.

Very cool shots...

The circle is a result of the focal length of the lense that you used... The wider angle the lense the more magnification in the resulting image. For the Coin and bill shots that I took, I was using the 18mm - 55mm zoom that came with my Canon D-Rebel camera. (18mm for the REAL close ups, about 30mm for the $10 bill)
