146/365 – May 26, 2009 – Disappearing Catepillar, originally uploaded by .dr4gon.

So, I found this awesome little white caterpillar climbing in this tree and attempted to take a picture. I was excited so I stepped back into the shade (very hot and sunny outside today) to check it out and re-do my settings. When I had it all set a few seconds later and stepped back out into the sun, I looked and looked and couldn’t find the caterpillar anywhere. It’s white with spots, on a GREEN tree, how hard could it be right? I stepped two feet back and totally was disoriented and couldn’t find the little guy anymore. So there we have it, the epic caterpillar shot that was…

Regardless, HBW!

Much better on BLACK!

The shot that almost was:

Shot for Macro Monday’s "Memories" Theme.

I think many in MM took photos of long lasting, enduring memories, but here is my interpretation of a temporary short term memory. This is a macro of an old stick of 512MB of DDR2 from my old Toshiba laptop. The laptop has since been replaced with an EEE PC, but I still have this old stick.

RAM is what is inside your computer which temporarily stores the necessary data to run your programs and operating system. It’s what Photoshop can’t get enough of (clogging up my 4 gigs on my desktop). The brand on these chips is hynix, the world’s second largest DRAM producer, behind Samsung.

Anyways, hope everyone had a nice rested long Memorial Day weekend.

Didn’t have any time to get the correct settings before it took off!

Didn’t take many pictures today. Went to a wedding this evening and had a great time (obviously didn’t bring my camera). The food was really good, especially the crab cake appetizers!

This is a shot of a this long iced cookie that everyone got as a party favor. It bears the name of the newlywed couple and today’s date!
