joke
1670, joque, "a jest, something done to excite laughter," from L. jocus "joke, sport, pastime," from PIE base *yek- "to speak" (cf. Bret. iez "language," O.H.G. jehan "to say," Ger. Beichte "confession"). Originally a colloquial or slang word. Meaning "something not to be taken seriously" is 1791. Joker, meaning "odd face card in the deck" is from 1885, probably from earlier slang sense of "man, fellow, chap" (1811).

"American manufacturers of playing-cards are wont to include a blank card at the top of the pack; and it is, alas! true that some thrifty person suggested that the card should not be wasted. This was the origin of the joker." ["St. James's Gazette," 1894]​

Practical joke "trick played on someone for the sake of a laugh at his expense" is from 1804.

 

[Josh66]

Oh and I think that man on the back is the Abe Lincoln memorial thingy...

It is, but He's supposed to be sitting in a chair, like he is in the real one - this looks like he's mooning us!

Give it a rest already, did you not get enough attention as a child?

 

[osirus]

woah drama in my thread...

cant we all just get along?


its just a little thing that took about a total of 15- 20 mins to make from ripping apart a pair of 20 year old crappy binoculars, to screwing on my camera..
thought if anyone else liked messing around with diy stuff they could give it a try.
thats why i posted it in the beginners forum.
mess with that, and see if they like it or not, if they do, go buy a good macro lens.

This works MUCH better than the "close up lens" i got off ebay with a wide angle adapter for my kodak P&S a few years ago.

and this was free so.

I made my own IR filter too. quality wasnt great,( but again was free) but i liked using it , so now im going to go purchase an actual IR filter.

btw your telephoto lens made me smile.

Great project! I bet you always got an A at the science fair

It is, but He's supposed to be sitting in a chair, like he is in the real one - this looks like he's mooning us!

lol those are his knees but i see what you mean

Happy - i have no opinion...but it isn't the joke people are upset about...its the original attitude in your previous posts.

Not to overly criticize the post but if you removed the word "dumb" it would be perfect.

 

[TATTRAT]

l...but it isn't the joke people are upset about...its the original attitude in your previous posts.

Ta da!

 

[TheOtherBob]

It is, but He's supposed to be sitting in a chair, like he is in the real one - this looks like he's mooning us!

That is...exactly...what I thought when I saw this. I thought "hey, where'd he get the fake penny with the dude mooning you on it? Did he photoshop that in? Is that, like, some kind of joke penny that you can buy?"

Then I realized that it was the Lincoln Memorial, so, you know, Lincoln sitting there...not mooning anybody...

Oh well.

Anyways, cool lens idea. I still love my 100mm 2.8, but the little cracks and divots in the penny look great through the homemade one here. Oh, and Bhop - the 1920's penny...very neat.
