Wink What's so bad about a point-and-shoot anyway?

I think my old Easyshare was better at closeups than my Rebel!

Wild Columbine


Teeny tiny mushroom (about thumbnail size)


Pink vetch


Tiny daisies for a tiny butterfly

Those are very nice. I love the butterfly in flight in your fourth. Don't give up on that Rebel. With time, your closeups will come around!

It's not the camera...it's who's behind it! It sounds cliche, but it is SOOOO true! You are no exception! These are great..whether from a $10K DSLR, or a $99 Wal Mart special!

Well done!

Jim

a Point and Shoot is what I started with and I still have two I take one with me whereever I go simply because it is not the Camera that takes a decent shot but the person shooting .... hence my Flickr is full of simply ok shots whether P&S'd or DSLR'd lol

These are lovely the mushroom one is my fave nicely composed and shot well done
