Thank you for the compliment. I love macros and am working to get better at it

wull, I guess I'd need a better camera and to not suck at photoshop to do it. I really do like closeups.

The camera does help. I have two I use the Olympus sp510uz and the newer sp590UZ. The first and older(and obtainable pretty inexpensively) does the better job at macros and low light shots, whereas the newer one has a decent zoom for wildlife

ahh, I'm a Cannon powerShot SX120IS

Not familiar with it. I researched the heck out of my Olympus and love them both

meh, it's okay, one of it's major drawbacks is it's a battery vampire so I always need to keep a couple packs of AA's with me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My Olympus uses AA's too, but I get about 600 photos in good light(and with minimal zoom usage) and 200-300 in low light or extensive zoom situations. So, yes I took 12 4-packs to Costa Rica and San Diego, last Christmas and still had 3 4-packs when I got back. Not bad for two full weeks of all day shooting! And a lot of that was at night and early morning

cannon used that, I took maybe 300 photos on one battery at the very most and I bneeded to change them out twice when I spent seven hours at Butchard Gardens in Victoria BC. I really know that's a pain.

As long as the lighting is good, I rarely have to change batteries more than once a day.

here, it depends, I sometimes need to change them tiwce even.

I might.. but only in very low light situations doing macro or zoom work

Robert is a treasured and rare jewel of a friend! He and his mother were the start of believing and encouraging me with my Art. I'm happy he has introduced us because it has opened up another WONDERFUL view to some breathtaking photography of yours and your husband's work! Thank You!!

Robert is pretty amazing. He always manages to make me laugh when I need it the most.
I love your art: it is the very kind of stuff I cannot wrap my brain around to do myself. I'm a very representational art type of artist, even though I appreciate a much wider field of art
