@izbiggs I moved your post to the Photography, Equipment, Tips, Q&A for more responses. Also take a look at the section as many things have been discussed before regarding basic use/tips/etc related to mantids in particular. If you have any specific questions just ask. Overall I'd say get a reversing ring to fit your lens (I commented in your photo topic), get a shutter release, and a decent tripod - that will get you much better results than much else. A cheap camera is a relative point to be sure - I know some members have free phone cameras to well over $10,000 if you include lens/

what species of mantid do you keep?

I'm in the same boat on that as Photobucket sucks with all their ads and slowness anymore making it nearly unusable. One such alternative was Pixabay, but they have disabled hotlinking to images so they will not show on a forum, so it's no longer usable. In that regard if you sign-up somewhere to upload photos be sure it says hotlinking is allowed to save you the time and hassle of another useless host. Also another host, TinyPic, is actually part of Photobucket and has the same problems as the other. A quick search turn up these alternatives, with ImageShack being recommended by man

hey bro, im lovin' that cartoony mantid avatar lol. i must admit im a little jealous... do they come in Tenodera?

Thanks
At the moment that is the only one I've made (Stagmomantis carolina, started off with a photo of Susanna). Sweet thing is it's vector art I made in Inkscape - so it can be saved in any size (format from icon to billboard) and look just as sharp. Perhaps when I get some free time I can surprise you with a Tenodera.
