Why can't people post whatever photos they want? Are macros excluded from UglyHedgeHog?

What are you talking about? I just invited OP to post MORE macro photos in a UHH thread just for macro-photography. 95% of my photography is macro. See my website in lower left corner of this post.


I checked out your website. WOW, AWESOME WORK!! Where is this other thread for Macro Photography? Would Love to post other shots.

Well, on second thought, i'll just stick to spider legs. I don't need a release and I don't come off as a pervert or anything.

These Spiders have a very interesting Mating Ritual. The web is from a different type of spider and is somewhat out of focus but I thought it was pretty cool.

I Did a small part for the USN - 1973-1979. Viet-Nam was over, soldiers and sailors were coming home,Uncle Sam had nowhere to send me so I stayed Stateside and filled a billet. Wasn't treated very well but I would Not give up the experience for anything. It taught me a lot. My small part was nothing compared to those who gave it all and to those who were there. I give All Honor and my sincere Gratitude to those men and women who were able to serve in a true soldier and sailor capacity. Thank You So Much!!!! As far as Malice toward our Government--- I leave them in the hands of God. He will Judge them with a righteous hand. If we all would do as our Lord Jesus would have us do, "to Love one another as he has Loved us," this world would be such a wonderful place to live. There would be no Lies, no Disrespect, no Hatred, no Malice, no Envy, no War, etc., etc.. Wow!, wouldn't that be Awesome?

At first it did look a bit crooked, but I put a measuring device to it and found it to be just an optical illusion. The watermark IS distracting, but I too am leary about posting my photos without it. I Like this photo! Great Shot! Had you not had your camera with you, this would only be in your memory. That's why I always carry mine with me.

I love the colors and the saturation. Question for you. If you cropped a bit off the right side up to just before the right had tree and cropped a bit of the foreground right hand tree you would have numerous planes pulling the viewers eye deeper into the image.

Just a thought. I think it would be fun to play with.


Thanks, Tried it. It does look good!

Distance to a camera is not logged in or calculated by any camera that I'm aware of. This is an excellent question and is one worth answering.

Someone asked why do you want this information? There are many good reasons for calculating and logging distance between a camera and a subject. Perhaps the most important reason for needing this information is for consistency. Knowing how far away a subject is from the camera is important if you want to repeat the pose or shot and make a specific type of shot repeatable in any situation. Unfortunately the only way to achieve this is to do a physical measurement by using a tape measure or other measuring device and "Make" a physical record by writing it down on a piece of paper.

Distance information is critical if you want consistency in doing photography if you're doing portraiture or want to achieve repeatable affects when taking photos. No camera on the market creates accurate "Distance" metadata for any kind of photography, whether it's still shots, or video. That is probably because it's a bit complicated to incorporate into a camera and the complex algorithms would limit the camera's abilities and make it more complex to use than is really necessary.

In answer to the question, no there is not any metadata recorded into your camera for distance when you take photos. You need to do this physically by measuring the distance between your subject and the camera and then write and keep this information in a logbook. Hope this helps answer your question. I don't think this resolves your problem, but it might be a solution you're seeking.

One other suggestion: If you're shooting photos with a telephoto and your subject is a fair distance away, is to use a "spotting scope." Many expensive spotting scopes and a few of the economical ones have distance calculations built in and you can estimate the distance between you and a subject through the spotting scope. It doesn't provide accurate distance right down to the inch, but provides a close estimate on how far away a target is located. That's important information many hunters use, or people that do target practicing in order to achieve more accurate shots. It might actually be a good device to use in photography, but it's not one I've ever found a need to try.
Distance to a camera is not logged in or calculate... (show quote)


After reading all the replies to your question, I was pondering a response and the thought came to mind that some of my lenses, (not all), have a ft./m guage built in with the focus ring. Look on the top of your lense and see if you have one. In agreement to a prior response, you would have to manually record the information but it would give you an approximate distance.
