Canon Powershot A480 point and shoot, very little PP, just a slight crop and a little glow added in Picasa. North Island of New Zealand.

Superb Tara – can’t wait to see more Macros! what lens have you got for your macro work?
Tara Lemana replied
:D As below! :)
Dean Mullin
well you see – I’ve just seen you’re using a canon Powershot – and if this image is taken without a dedicated macro lens then – must be hell of a neat little P&S
Tara Lemana replied
It is!!! I’m loving it, bought it on Sunday after my hubby dropped my old and waaayyy out of date Kodak P&S with no features whatsoever and broke the lense and I’m addicted already. I took 425 shots yesterday – 95% of them Macro, lol. Can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact with good Macro capabilities, that’s for sure!!! :)

LoL Oh my god! – how many images yesterday :chuckle:! excellent:o)
Tara Lemana replied
Lol, don’t worry, I won’t upload them all….. ;-P

Tara Lemana replied
Thanks Pamela – can’t take credit for the colours really, that’s Mother Nature’s department, this is straight off camera apart from a slight crop and a little glow….:) Glad you like it!!!
