new major on the block Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Its funny that all those poor saps in San Antonio have to go to a park to see alligators, here all we got to do is wait for a little rain to drive them out. In fact, there is one that lives in our neighborhood pond. Gotta love east texas for its wilderness, from those crawfish in my front yard and ditch to the friendly neighborhood gator down the street.

H-Town Man Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Those are awesome pics, Boris. What kind of telephoto magnification were you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonDFW Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Those are awesome pics, Boris. What kind of telephoto magnification were you using?The quick and dirty answer is the JVC GZ-MC200 camcorder used to take those shots has a "10x" zoom lens. The problem is unlike binoculars, it is impossible to compare the magnification by a simple number like that with cameras. The issue is there is no standard on magnification, so that 10x number is just the ratio of the focal lengths at each end of the range. So, my telephoto 4x lens would have way more magnification that say this general purpose 10x lens. My 1x lens has way more magnification than even my telephoto 4x lens.However, for models similar to this, the simple 10x number would get you fairly close. The shot of the alamo was taken at a true 45mm which is likely near 400mm equivalent on a 35mm camera, although the resulting detail would not be equivalent.Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 That's amazing Jason. I don't know how you could have figured out what type of camera/recorder I was using, but I am officially freaked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 JackinNYC in SSP made this collage of the photos. I don't know how he did it but it's awesome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F. Barnes Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That's amazing Jason. I don't know how you could have figured out what type of camera/recorder I was using, but I am officially freaked out. What you want to bet Jason is not the kid screwing up your prints at the local Wal-Mart. If I had to guess a photographer or perhaps a cinematographer, and not just that but one or the other with a BA or BFA in Photography and Digital Imaging! Great eye for his art none the less.
