Looks Great!

Off the subject, but I'd love to speak with you! I sent an email but it may have been filtered out...

I use HCS and LOVE IT!!! but had to do some work on my hard drive, so I hit the Archive button. Now I can't find the files (all my animals history!) and have no idea how to relocate the data?

Any help please? I can be reached at brentstrande@hotmail.com

Thanks!

I'm using a Canon Eos 300 D (also known as Rebel) with the kitlens (18-55mm) and I reverse mounted a 50 mm lens on it. This gives you a macro of about 5:1. Just do a google search on 'reverse macro' and you will find some pages describing the technique.

Other settings:

Shooting Mode
Manual
Tv( Shutter Speed )
1/80
Av( Aperture Value )
36
Metering Mode
Center-weighted averaging
ISO Speed
400
Lens
18.0 - 55.0 mm
Focal Length
55.0 mm
Flash
On

Furthermore, you need alot of light, so I took the pictures in the enclosure of the geckos. And you also need a gecko which doesn't really care about all the fuzz you're making When making these pics, the lens of the camera was only about 2-3 cm from the subject.

Cheers
