[QUOTE="mantiscraze, post: 165220, member: 5634"] See how far you can push your kodak easy share, test its limit. Depending on the size of the mantids, i.e., how close you want to get, I would play around with various lighting options you have (flashlights, LEDs, sun). Find out the limits on your camera, test out how close you can get with a stationary object. To reduce blur, set it on one of those mini tripods or homemade support (duct tape or couple books), set it on timer, press halfway to focus, and then take a shot. Use the camera flash, if it's too harsh, use a diffuser, try to play around with translucent materials and place it in front of your camera flash and other light sources. Or just bring the mantis outside and have it illuminated with natural sunlight. If you aren't satisfied with the result, then a dslr + macro lens would be the way to go. [/QUOTE]
