New Camera, lots of pics

[radicaldementia]

So I recently got a new camera, a Panasonic LX3. I think this is definitely the best camera you can get for macro photography before making the jump to an SLR. In fact, I think it may even be better than SLRs when it comes to inverts. It has a 1cm min focus, so you can get incredibly close (almost too close) and still get sharp images. And it's still a pretty small camera, so you can get it into tighter places.

Here's some of the best pics I've taken so far.

G. rosea sling

G. rosea adult female

P. murinus sling

100% crop

Freshly molted A. amazonica

B. albopilosum sling

One of my P. cambridgei's feet

P. fasciata, notice the partially regenerated back legs

N. chromatus sling, he is barely 1/4" legspan

C. fasciatum sling, about 1/2"

A few scorp pictures

Tityus stigmurus

100% crop of the same picture

Chela of a 4th instar H. judaicus

The rest of him

C. margaritatus "om nom nom"

Freshly molted V. carolinianus, look how much he grew (but still barely 1/2")

And some pics of my S. subspinipes mutilans pedelings

Not a good day to be a dubia roach

Closeup on the head

Legs

Hope you enjoyed, many more to come!

yeah i've heard LX3 is amazing. i wish i could get one right now too or Leica dlux4 . dlux4 is nearly 2times more expensive though..maybe just because of name value..? i've heard panasonic lx3 and leica dlux4 basically pretty much same.

anyway thanks for sharing nice pics.
i wanted to see some examples of lx3 macro shots. thanks
