Almost all the pictures taken and posted here were done with my Canon 20D camera. Canon digitals with the CMOS chip are great - they capture beautiful low noise images, which makes them great for night digital photography too. And then I have a small Sony T1 camera which I think I've posted a few pics from here too (an earlier close-up bee photo is one example). Anyhow, I can't imagine anyone regretting purchasing a CMOS chipped digital camera! Visit the various manufacture web sites and compare even their example images - ha, and in fact doing just that is what made me go with Canon as opposed to Nikon (funny, the example Nikon images actually convinced me to NOT go with them).

That's exactly why I take them myself, for 1280x800 windows wallpaper on my notebook computer. ha, really, that's the only thing I do with them, and then put them here for free for others to do the same (sorry about the limited 1280x800 size here .. I imagine though maybe one day, once I'm good at this photography thing and can consciously and honestly justify doing so, I'll make and post nice large poster size thingies for sale at a modest price in order to get more money for more lenses ... ha ha ha). That photo was taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum about this time yesterday, and that was HARD to get. I was using that 180mm macro I just got, and trying to do macro outside with real plants in the wild with even a slight breeze is CHALLENGING ... grrrr ... ha ha ha ... I sat there for 15 minutes waiting for those few brief seconds that would occur every couple minute or so when everything would just FREEZE (or almost freeze - ha), trying a few different exposure and aperture combinations. In a situation like this, you can't even breath on the camera for fear of shake - ha. I even have to be careful not to wiggle the wired remote I use because any vibration through the cord causes blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... What I want to use this lens for mostly are shots of bugs and birds and butterflies and moths and such this summer. stay tuned ... maybe an e.t. or two too ....

ha.. cool, but getting birds and other animals to stay still for that long will be quite difficult!

Nah, the animals are so much easier to solicite cooperation from than the weather. Really, quite often all it takes to engage them creatures with eyes is to make eye to eye contact with them and while doing so they will freeze long enough for a picture or two while they peer into your mind and soul - ha, and depending upon what they see they may do more for you. Sometimes they will put on quite a show ... for a bunch of animals that is.
