Wow! That's amazing! I had heard that some of the compact digitals had macro capabilities rivaling some of the Pro kit.

Have you ever looked at any of Tony Sweet's work? "Fine art nature photography" and "Fine art flower photography". I think I prefer the former.

Did your cataract operation affect your photography?

Mitch: Believe it or not, all of these images were shot with either a Nikon COOLPIX 990 (for the older shots) or a Nikon COOLPIX 5700 (everything else). I've found the combination of the live preview and swiveling LCD to make it *much* easier to shoot macro shots. I also have a Canon Rebel XT, but I haven't invested in a macro lens yet.

A few of these were taken with a tripod, but most are hand held. Also, I don't use flash or reflectors, so this is all natural light.

The COOLPIX cameras have fantastic macro capabilities, although I'm starting to want images with less color noise.

Very beautiful images Michael. Did you use Pro lenses and a tripod? They all seem to be in natural light, did you use a reflector?
