We live with 'insect-injections' in most conversations; the random trivia he knows about insects would put most entomologists to shame.
And while some of us are off creating useful posts about castles and pirates and maidens....and admiring scenery and having (bug-free) conversations....Jack will be scouring the dirt...watching ants, gazing at slugs and quietly snapping away with the camera. We must look like an odd family. A very, odd, family.
But with shots like these, I guess I can put up with all the mantismania a little longer.

Okay, so Jack's a big dummy too.
I'm just still trying to get a semi-clear picture!
F.Y.I.-I don't think I like seeing a fly in that much detail.=)
I love these!
Awesome pictures!
Chad will be jealous, stuff like this interests him as well. =)
She's right Jack, I'm jealous.. I wan't a macro lens all the more!! Awesome shots man!!!
Jack says: I got comments?! COOL!
:)
Chad, the macro lens is such a great one to get (we have the Canon 100mm 2:8) but have a friend with the Tamron equivalent that works very well also. It can double as a great portrait lens, at a push for a telephoto lens and you can get extension tubes or teleconverters to increase its usage as well.
Most of all- its allowed our family to see Gods creation in the smallest, most unbelievable details. Its also given us a challenge because working with such a small DOF can be tough and it makes you want to get out and practice. Definitely one for the wish list.
