Very good! What camera? What lens? What f-stop?

Hi Clark,
I use a high end P & S, 7.1 mp, Canon G6 (old 2005 model) with built in 7.2-28.8mm lens (35mm equivalent = 35-140mm), super macro mode (2'' away), 1/60 @ F7.1, hand held in natural, bright overcast light, ISO 100 or 200 (not sure as camera sets it automatically). In super macro mode I manually set the F-stop at 7.1 & the camera automatically sets the shutter speed (I can usually handhold shots down to about 1/4 sec. without blurring...most times!) Depth of field with this digital camera (all new digitals) is simply amazing & doesn't even compare with my old Pentax SLR & 100mm macro lens stopped down to F-22! Autofocus zooms in & I press the shutter button. There is a slight time delay between pushing the shutter button & actually taking the picture (older, slower technology... newer models should be better). I will never go back to lugging around a full size SLR (even a new digital one) again, unless they get as small as my current P & S.

I was wondering what you meant by "Poly", then realising it's a Saturniid I assume it must be Antheraea polyphemus. That's confusing for us in Europe; when we refer to a "Poly" we mean Nymphalis polychloros.

...and when I speak of Poly I refer to Polly Pocket, anyone here played with these ?  |

bobw,
Sorry for the confusion! I was getting really frustrated trying to upload my 1st photo to the new forum & gathered people would understand from my 1st unsucessful post! Poly here can mean also Polygonias spp. butterflies, polywogs (tadpoles), Polly (want a cracker?)...
