New cam: First attempts in macro photography

Well, I can see some beauty in these creatures, too, but of course they do not have my girls' sweetness!

Which means we will soon see nice pictures of your girls???

   The reddish parts extending upwards are the beetle's antennae. Because the beetle's left antenna is in focus and the right antenna is too close to the camera and is blurred the image looks real as opposed to an artist's rendering.

   The reddish parts at the front of the beetle are its mouth parts. It's illogical but all insect mouth parts seem gross.

Wow, those pics are amazing! I think you convinced me that I want the S2 IS...

wow! awesome pictures!

[Paul]

   Your first image of the beetle is amazing. I had no idea that details such as many of the hairs on the beetle's legs and body could be captured without a professional camera and staging.

Thanks!

@Paul: I didn't know that, that's interesting. You seem to know a lot about beetles.

@Toby's my baby: Did it arrive yet?
