New macros with the Canon PowerShot S2

**Kirsten** · 07-01-2006, 09:53 AM

I'm still busy taking macro shots, but still, I have to use a flash most of the time, otherwise they turn out too blurry. But some of them are not too bad, I think.

I especially like this one:

Encounter

Hungry

Fly

Yummy!

Not feeling well

Orange Lily

I know some of you here have the S2, too, or are planning on getting it. I'd like to hear about your experiences. Maybe we can help each other learning to handle it.

Kirsten - I just had to post about the Not Feeling Well! HOW CUTE!

You might want to frame that one with the caption: "I Need A Hug."

LOL!

I saw that poor little guy dead on the floor, only hours after I took the photo.

Awesome pictures...even though I really don't like to see them that close

The Encounter is my favorite!

Great shots, Kirsten!! I should try my macro setting too.

Wow! Awesome shots, I especially love the first one!

If I grow up, I wanna take shots just like you.

Kirsten, I'm still trying to figure out my Canon A700. When you set your camera to Macro mode, do you change any other settings, or do you just point and shoot? Did you use the zoom feature or did you really have the camera that close to the subject?
