My first post!!!!

Here is a photo of a bee on a lavender flower in my garden. Taken with a Canon S2 IS with the Raynox 250 adapter. I also use a homemade flash diffuser to soften the build-in flash.

I have recently moved over to a DSLR for macro photography with a 180mm lens, but I still think the little Canon takes awesome pictures for a 4year old camera and a some home-made adaptions...

Nice bee macro! Some of the P&S cameras take very good shots closeup.

Grand looking bee and a great shot. That raynox is working well for you. The eyes are superb.
