Spider I.D. Requested.

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Thank you Jim, and Tim. I think that Jim wins the ID as it appears identical to spider I observed and looks as though Jim also photographed his at night.

Unusual Butterfly

Definately a Paper Kite. Usually only found in Asia. Boy, are its wings tired! I did see one like it at the Ft. Worth tropical plant conservatory.

A way to make prints from slides

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

When you wise up and finally go digital, here's a way to copy slides that is so easy that it's embarassing. Attached image is of the rig I made. It mounts to my Canon A70 tripod socket. The A70 will focus to two inches, which is where I cut the slot to hold the slide. Since the camera and slide move together, shutter speed is not important. For best results, use daylight and shoot against white paper eight or so inches behind the slide. Some Nikon digicams focus even closer, but I really like the Canon A series.
