cincobayou -- All of the photos in my galleries were taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 4500, or a Nikon Coolpix 8800. I use the 8800 for most of my work now.

Hello! I was sent this link to help me ID a butterfly photo I took. Your pix are wonderful. What patience you must have to be able to get a shot of these quick little critters!
What kind of camera are you using? I just have a Canon A-630. Know you must have a much bigger one!
