Hi Carl,

I'm Mike and I'm Tom Nitti's father.

Firstly, I think your photos are amazing escpecially the first one. Just to let you know Tom has just turned 14 and has had an interest in macro photography since about 12, and is responsible for all the macro photos taken. I had an old Minolta Dimage A1 which he used to take amazing photos with the same setup.

The K10d was bought as a Christmas for both of us, with Tom paying half the amount. His interest in photography has rapidly increased and he hopes one day to be able to use this in a future carrer.

Many Thanks,
Mike

Brilliant picture, Tom
I have tried this myself a few times but I just cannot get the focus right.
Perhaps I will try again when I have time - but there are so many things to try again.

I do all the photos manual focus, It wont focus properly in auto, but manual is great

The ant was from Argentina, i keep various exotic ants, some up to 3.5cm , and the crickets are the lizards food which i give them .

Thankyou for telling me about the dust, I've just tried the dust removal, seems to have worked well

With a homemade flash diffuser. The 10d is better than expected!
