re: #1 Killgore Trout

I read recently that you were getting a bit frustrated with your point and click camera. You can get a decent camera on the cheap these days - here’s the one I got recently - it’s not expensive, and it has full manual controls, and a lot of other goodies as well.

Great sharpness and clarity… depth of field seems pretty good as macro shots go… super lens. If I get any more jealous I am going to end up hating you Mr. fancycams….

Nice shots. Were they stopped down or wide open? I know a lot of macro shooters don’t like the shorter macro lenses because some subjects are skittish and you have to get so close it can sometimes obscure your own light. But I prefer the wide lenses, they exaggerate proportions and force you to get in close with your subjects - light and flight are mitigated with patience and planning.

Tech details- I stopped down a ways-F11, 1/160th exposure, ISO 400, partial metering. Used a monopod to steady up. 60mm on my camera is really 96mm as the 7D is not full frame.
