If this doesn't belong here please move.

what camera and lens are you using and will it take good macros of my corals?

neat, waiting on timelapse photos on youtube

I hope they make a video of all 5 hours sped up.

WOW. that is really amazing. maybe i could do it in the near future for a science project? or maybe i could do it for my photo class! i think that would get me an A.

wow thats awesome! Very cool.

Im pretty sure it'll get more than an A. aha

LOL maybe.

Me too, I'd love to see that.

So this would be freakin sweet to try out. That time lapse video should be pretty sweet

I might have to try that too haha!

Dooooo eeeeeet!

it said that it took pictures every 5 seconds. so an hour long video would be cool. i like to see it fly down. said to have taken 40 mins.

First NR member to do this gets a cookie from me

+1!

Awesome!!!!!!!!

You do it....I will come help.....and bring the cookies!

Hey you live kinda by me awesome!

The problem I see would be finding it again, around here there are lots of rivers and lakes as places to kill the electronics haha. But as long as it doesn't go through a jetstream, it should be within driving distance (hopefully).

LOL yeah. hey what yr you in? im a soph in HS.

Me too. Sophomore with all honors, nerd FTW

LOL i wish i could do that. LOL my only "honors" class is chemistry but then again im just AP...LOL

oh yeah are you planning on taking marine bio? im taking it this year.

My school doesn't have that. I am in honors chem/physics for science right now. I know this is a little early on but I plan on going to the university of hawaii at manoa to study marine biology and volcanology, my two passions haha. Its basically the only place where you can do both, and it is now part of the western states reciprocity, so you pay basically resident tuition. I do like WWII too haha <- Passion haha


Edit: I dunno if you want to, I mean it looks good and I am going into the IB program (doesn't matter if your don't know what that is haha) but I have about 5 hours of homework every night.

heyyy well what do ya know. im really into WWII history. My grandpa was actually a Marine for the Phillipines. one of the last ones living too. hes 85, and im scared he could fall over any time...thats why im going with him to the phillipines next year...i feel so bad for him...especially because all his problems are attributed to his 1 year stay in a japanese POW camp. dang WWII japanese.

well anyways yeah...LOVE the naval stuff especially with the aircraft carriers and battleships its like heaven!

IB is probably like AVID. gives you extra homework to do and in turn gives you more college creds right?

Hahaha ya thats basically what IB is. Thats pretty crazy, those prison camps were pretty bad.

He so weird, my grandpa on my dads side, hes like 85 too, he was a 10th mountain skier and then a machine gunner and a sniper in europe (all over). My grandpa (he passed away ) but hes is like my idol. He helped design the nuclear reactors for the atomic bombs. Very cool. Ya its really interesting stuff, you probably like saving private ryan and band of brothers right? If you haven't seen them DO.

OMG DUDE ive only watched those movies (and series) ABOUT 100MILLION TIMES. those are THE BEST WWII movies out there. just gotta love em.

oh wow you grandpa was a gunner and sniper?! OMG he lucky. also lucky he didnt get shot down. sorry that he passed away tho.

Ya my grandpa who was a sniper/gunner/skier went through some bad things, friends died in his arms, he got hit by a land mine that killed his best friend (got a purple heart). Ya its a bummer that my other grandpa died (more than a bummer, he was amazing smart you have no idea lol), we are sure it was because of the radioactive stuff. They used to hold plutonium with just gloves and run it from one reactor to the other lol. We have pictures to prove it, crazy stuff.

They are the best period. You should read the book band of brothers, I just bought it and I am gonna read when I have time. I can't read it for my English class because its non-fiction

Its by stephen e ambrose by the way.

oh yeah huh. i should read those bay boys. but i have read flags of our father and watched the movie. no as good as saving private ryan but still pretty good. i also liked the book too.

and WOW. plutonium with gloves!?!?! is that like...even ethical? LOL seems kinda scary taking into account its glowing green. LOL

They didn't know how bad it was back then, the whole idea of an atomic bomb was experimental and top secret of course haha

I haven't seen flags of our fathers, or read it. Probably should lol.

yeah its ok...probably not as good as BOB but you know... you can try it. LOL

hey do you play and Xbox or the like? if you do you have battlestations pacific/midway?

Play xbox fo sho. Not recently though, used to play COD and Halo lol. I have played battlefield 1944(I think, there are so many, the new one that is downloadable, its actually really nice).
This thread is gonna go into the lounge lol...

LOL that would be awesome. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL TEEN LOUNGE OF N-R.
OFFICIALLY STARTED 9/15/09 BY JACOBNANO AND NANOREEFNATE!

heyy COD eh? that a pretty good game. im not as much into halo tho but i play the demo on my mac. LOL

What was this thread about?

Space Aliens. Well I am off to school....

Hey......get a room!

Some of the pics look pretty crappy. I am guessing it just took the pictures with no AF?

My son did this at WVU. Their camera shot video. The cool part is the Air Force fly by that starts the payload spinning.

I saw this article yesterday. That is so brilliant and awesome.

I bet the FAA just LOVES those guys...

Payload under 4lbs does not have to be registered or whatever. In the article

Just watched the vid. the last hour of the pix seems to be UBER BLURRY. lol probably because of the temp differences. looks really cool though.

I meant more the, "O hay it's a strange object in our direct flight path!" factor when people inevitably try to do this themselves.
