Ken, You wrote: "However, it won't take much for someone to convince me that I need another lens and that I would regret it. Does someone feel strongly that I need another lens down there?

Ken, Mayflies come in a wide range of sizes. Where I live, our largest is about 25mm body length, and our smallest is about 3 mm. (Tails and legs are extra.) I think your other picture is also a subimago. The wings of the adults that I know are very clear. If you want to pursue the question, you can...

Ken, these are excellent! Almost textbook examples of how to illuminate a subject and separate it from its background. The first two are especially good that way. On the third one, the wings blend a bit into the dark background, but the sharpness and delineation of the thorax and head more than make...

thanks!
I don't have any images to post here right now. I just want to say "THANKS!" to Tom for opening this forum, and to all the folks who have posted their favorite places. I find myself coming back to this forum every evening, just to let my eyes feast on the images and imagine how the places feel. I th...

DaveW, You wrote "To me the logical distinction between photomacrography and photomicrography is not magnification, but wether the image is taken on a compound microscope or a "simple microscope", the latter being photomacrography."

Dave, This is my second post, about your microfilm reader lenses. Generally speaking, those lenses are designed to provide flat field and high resolution at one fixed magnification, with fairly short throw and a large projection circle, with depth of field not an issue.

This is the first post, about forum organization. I don't know exactly which postings are causing your confusion, but I can imagine that ...

Ah! You've been searching the Internet and found something like http://www.answers.com/topic/cherrypicking, I'd guess?
Well, the action they describe is pretty much the same as I had in mind, but I meant the word only in a positive sense.
