drosera macro capture

I saw this beautifully coloured rose, and had to capture the moment. I'm glad that I did as this macro captures the beauty within.

Por cierto, debido a su gran belleza es una de las especies buscadas por los coleccionistas. Yo prefiero verlas volando que en un cuadro o vitrina .......

First attempt at trying out an environmental macro capture with Canon G12 set to its widest focal length (roughly 28mm). By setting it to manual focus I was able to have the lens literally within a few centimeters from the mating beetles. The minimum focal distance on the G12 is an incredible 1cm! The 5.6 aperture may not equate to much depth of field on a DSLR sensor but on the smaller G12 sensor it's probably the equivalent to 14f. This along with the wide angle setting makes it a feasible option for environmental macro shots.

Need I say more... OK, maybe I do. The purpose of this picture was to get a macro of the drops on a car. That failed but it turned out cool anyway. Well, in my humble opinion that is.
