Your Id seems correct
I'd like to compliment you on those great photos! Are you still using the same cameras as described in your Bio?

Thanks
Yes, the SD1100 IS. I have had to devise a few tricks to force this point-and-shoot to do what I want. I would like to get some smaller insects/parts and may soon need either a camera-microscope-combo or just a better camera. So far I have had a lot of fun finding ways to get the images I want with the simple items I already have (camera/coffee filter/RubberMaid cooler/flashlight/sandwich bag) :-)
Thanks again!
