So, I don't know if it was trying to find its hole or trying to locate a suitable place for one. It did seem to be disoriented though. I'm surprised that Max the cat wasn't trying to swat the wasp.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-27163493441521640412007-09-06T09:47:00.000-07:002007-09-06T09:47:00.000-07:00Heh...the killer acts like it doesn't know where t...Heh...the killer acts like it doesn't know where to go with its' prey...maybe he wanted privacy from kitty.

Even my old 3 mega pixel Nikon coolpix 3100 had a movie function.<BR/><BR/>The best part is it doesn't count against your 1 Gig photo account so you can upload as many movies as you want.<BR/><BR/>Even though I thought the Cicada Killer dragging the Cicada around fascinating, 1:05 minutes was too long. I think a 15 second movie would be optimal. Next time I'll try to edit it so as not to bore people. ;) I may try to delete and upload another version of the movie with a correct aspect ratio.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-29614775033383057782007-09-03T17:49:00.000-07:002007-09-03T17:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for blazing the trail, Ki!

The movie itself is pretty cool. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-8464088901382349472007-09-03T17:24:00.000-07:002007-09-03T17:24:00.000-07:00Hi Deemom,I'm sorry the quality isn't very good bu...Hi Deemom,<BR/>I'm sorry the quality isn't very good but I had to learn all the particulars for uploading a movie. Using the lowest resolution, my camera takes a 240 x 320 and Blogger apparently resizes it to 280 x 320 so the aspect ratio may still come out wrong. I hope not and maybe it will only have those black bars at the top and bottom and not distort the picture. Now all I have to do is find something interesting to take a movie of.<BR/><BR/>I'll look forward to seeing your movie. Good luck in the upload. Remember, it takes a while for the movie to upload unless you have a really fast fiber optic or cable connection so I would use the lowest resolution setting that your camera has.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-53957859296140488392007-09-03T06:38:00.000-07:002007-09-03T06:38:00.000-07:00Ki how neat.
