There are pictures on my critter page. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the offer, but frankly, such a pic is liable to have a negative effect on my appetite.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1119583140190307052005-06-24T11:19:00.000+08:002005-06-24T11:19:00.000+08:00I'm using a Fuji s5000, with the zoom/macro equal ...I'm using a Fuji s5000, with the zoom/macro equal to a 37mm-370mm SLR lens. Macro is built in. Picture quality is excellent for my needs, and the camera is durable; I've turn over the counter once already, so have shot over 10K pics since February of last year. <BR/><BR/>Most of these bugs I didn't get at home! The slug was at Chaoyang U, the beetle on Wu Chuan W. Rd, the caterpillar in Keelung. The moth I shot on our car one morning. I've been trying to get ticks and cockroaches, but unlike other bugs, they won't pose.Michael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1119582423391367882005-06-24T11:07:00.000+08:002005-06-24T11:07:00.000+08:00It's not fair - most of the bugs we get here are b...It's not fair - most of the bugs we get here are boring things like ants, 'plain' spiders, 'roaches and the odd flatworm. Nothing as exotic as you get over there in Da-ken.<BR/><BR/>By the way, what camera are you using? And are you using a special macro lens for these shots?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
