I only got a little over an hour with the camera yesterday, but it felt like I was shooting during prime time for these little guys and gals.

All Canon gear: Xti (aperture priority F5.6, ISO 200, and -1/3 EV) + 100mm macro lens + 500D diopter. No flash. All of these photos are eligable for the Last Photographer Standing semi-final so if you see one that you think is "contest worthy" then please let me know.

    Thanks Brian! I don't hold much hope that I'll place -I'm up against some of the best shooters I've ever seen. But I'm not gonna roll over... mwink.gif
