I like your insect shots. I'm on the verge of ordering some macro filters, as a good macro lens costs more than my camera. The DSLR camera bodies aren't too bad, but when you start adding lenses be prepared to open your wallet. What I'd like to get is that new Nikon D700, but I think I'll direct my money to lenses at other equipment at the moment, unless I win the Lotto or something.

@Twelvebit: Thanks, Twelvebit! I really appreciate the compliments.

I'd like to have the D700, too, but realistically, I'm working towards getting a Canon Rebel XSi with a couple of good macro lenses. Everything you see here has been taken with a just a little Nikon point and shoot.
