Alright, I'm bored. Here's some recent abstract macros I took of my tank:

Nikon Coolpix 990?

Oh, thanks for reminding me Newkie Shot with Fujifilm S1 Pro DSLR with Nikon 60mm Micro (macro) lens and B+W UV filter. No flash used (ambient light only). Tripod mounted with remote shutter release.

I've got other more "normal" photos to share if anyone is interested, but not in this thread since I don't want to abuse our dial up friends.

I've always been fond of the Canon G2 (now G3). Nikon cameras take excellent macros as well.
