All picture taken with olympus E-30 and 50mm lens. indoors with a home made miniature box studio. couple of small desk lights and of course a willing model! (though very wiggly!) :blink:

my other half says these are terrible pictures since they were so wiggly and it was hard to get a good focus with such low lights, but i like them anyway!

Yes Phil, its similar to the netcubes but solid white. works great, and i have not used it as a mantis enclosure yet.. :lol: :lol: the lights we have are a little to weak, but it works ok.

Makes me want to put a "olympus E-30 and 50mm lens" on my Christmas list. I feel like I missed A LOT in school. If only I followed my "bliss". Oh well...here I am, just a follower, so it seems. I don't know where to start....I did just get a new Nikon S80 (you know....the one Ashton Kutcher is/was peddling?). It IS better than my last, but not as good as my NEXT. Any recommendations?
