Cleaned my filthy sensor with Dust Aid. Works pretty cool! My sensor was really dirty and it got everything but a couple of spots in one try.

Make sure this aggressive little guys loads. I pointed my camera at him and he reared up and did this a bunch of times!

I was lying flat on the ground for this shot. These Shrooms were only about 1cm high.

    These are really good. I like how you added the water and reflection in the Streetlight Island shot. And I love how you animated the ant. When I get pics that are similar like that, I always flip back and forth between the two for the kids to get a laugh at the effect (like dancing or winking, etc.) I've always wondered how to merge them into one animation like you've done. Could you explain how you did it or what software is needed? Thanks. :)

    Hi Debbie! There are several programs you can creat animated GIF's with. For this one I used Photoshop CS3. Ulead also has a good one called GIF Animator. The CS3 is better though as you can use Align Layers and it will match up your photos quite well.

    Hope this helps and thank you! :)

    I love those jumping spider shots. Last time I saw one of those things, it definitely didn't sit still to have its picture taken.
