Would you be willing to buy me a camera and put me on weekly payroll? I'd be your photographer for mantis place!

couple more, just got some cash for christmas, so will be investing in the new canon D5 MkII if that means anything to any one, will be sure to get some pics of the mantids as soon as i get that, maybe even a video or two you never know.

How the pics come out is more to do with the camera than the user trust me, but if you can get your hands on a good beginners photography book and a cheap(ish) digital SLR then you'll be amazed what it will let you do. For any one who is interested, untill i splash out on my new camera i'm using the Canon EOS 360D [Digital Rebal] with a 105mm sigma macro lens and canon speedlite 430. For what it cost me you can't argue with the pics it takes.

Till i get a few more shot or upload some i have these two will have to do.
