Thanks guys. I tried using Quicktime 7 Pro to save the movie in a Windows media format, but it kept cutting off about the last 1/3rd of it. If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know. I use a Canon XTI, a Tamron 70-300mm zoom and a Sigma 28-80mm zoom. Both lenses have macro settings which come in handy for smaller blooms. Originally the Canon was for astrophotography (see the website). Shooting the sky is my true passion. Here is a link that might be useful: My Astrophotography Page

Cool time laps. I just did my first one manually as a test. It's of a sunset the other day though. Can't wait to get my hands on that remote for my camera so I can do proper time laps videos.

I love the baby bats clinging to their mom's belly as they fly and nectar. And the amazing detail of the faces of the bees. And the music fits so well. I never get tired of seeing this film. In the speech the creator mentioned that these were "exerts from the film". I'd love to see the entire thing. Martha

Cool video indeed. I have wanted to make a time lapse video for a long time but have always felt that the process would just be so tedious. Does your camera have a time lapse function or did you edit the video? You have inspired me to drag out my seriously underused video camera. GG plant sex is pretty darn filthy when you look at it. I think some of the coolest orchids are the ones that trick male insects into mating with them. Some orchids even produce the exact sex pheromones needed to attract their pollinators. Some of the South American orchids from the same group as the Catasetums produce oils that male Euglossa bees collect and smear on themselves so that they can attract females, like sexy cologne. Hoyas are not quite as advanced as orchids but the lock and key type mechanism for Asclepiad pollination is pretty darn cool in itself. Quinn you should try a Catasetum because I am sure you would love them. You can't get much easier than wet + fertilizer in the summer and completely dry and sunny in the winter. Anyways they are easier to keep happy than those often temperamental Angraecoids. Mike Here is a link that might be useful: Ophrys
