... after returning from hunting the beach. Took it off with a soft cloth, and set it on a bamboo chair for this photo. Good thing he's only about 3" long.

what camera did you use and how did you set it up? The focus is dead on. Did you use any additional lenses or filters?

...I used my Nikon 4500 hand held, in the "Close-up" program mode, 1/75.4sec @ f5.6, original size: 1024x768 pixels.
I took about 30 photos, and picked this one as my favorite. Then I tweaked and cropped it in Photoshop LE.
That's it. Thanks for asking.

One of the things I really like about digital photography is being able to take lots of photos without worrying about wasting film. I have two 256Mb Compact Flash cards, and two LiIon batteries, and I can shoot til the cows come home. Pick the good ones and save them on a CD Rom, then erase the cards and start over.
I love it.
When we were in California, I also picked up a Nikon SL-1 Ring light, that uses bright white LED's, is powered by 2 AA batteries, and attaches to the lense for lighting macro subjects. It's not necissary to sync with the camera, just turn it on when you need it, and turn it off when your done. Very slick.
It makes shooting extreme close-ups a piece of cake. Here's one I took of some parts on a circuit board, for a post I did on the Tech and Mods forum a few weeks ago. If you look really close, you can see the LED's reflected in the shiny surface of the components. As you can see, it lights the subject evenly, with only one hot-spot at the bottom. You cerainly couldn't do this with the on-camera flash, a light box, or even a light kit, because the lens was less than 1" from the subject, hand held @ 1/125 sec.
If you can get one for your camera and you like shooting macro's, I highly recommend it.
