Link of the Day

  1. Wow, those *are* pretty impressive.

    One thing that I think is worth noting: He's doing that with 3-4 megapixel cameras. Which shows that for macrophotography, what matters is not the size of your sensor. What matters is the quality of the glass you put in front of the camera, and how well you manage the light that goes through it.

    So, save the money you would have spent on some 15 megapixel monstrosity, and spend it on the lenses and flash instead.

  2. The importance of the flash is probably greater than one might think. You need to have tons of ambient light, so you can't have the flash illuminating the target like a laser beam. If you did that, you'd end up with odd highlights and saturation points.
