Guess What #4

Last week’s “Guess What” was shot with the optical-digital zoom combined, on the Canon S3 Powershot. This 48X is equivalent to about a 1600mm lens, albeit a dicey proposition on quality when hand-held.

The clitoral-looking photo is a wasp’s nest, tucked into the wooden slats of a covered bridge here in North Georgia.

This week’s photo comes from my Pentax K10D. The hint is that it was shot in Montezuma, Georgia, though I’m not sure that will help much in identifying it…

Since this week’s answer was 5 days late, I will wait until August 31 to publish the answer to Guess What #4.

Guess What #3

Last week’s photo was, as Ann surmised, a mushroom’s gills – shot from below, with the sun coming through it.

My Canon Powershot S3 is well-suited to such a task. It has a tilt-swivel LCD monitor with live view, and the body is small enough to tuck underneath a mushroom. Using the supermacro setting, I can shoot with the lens right up against the subject – as little as 1 mm away! I don’t know of any DSLR that could have accomplished it.

This week’s photo was also taken with the S3, but it shows off a different feature of the camera. Answer posted August 15.
