Ok, all of these were taken in my backyard (a small one) with my Sony Mavica (the big clunky kind of digital camera). Hope you like them :D

the rusty meter ii is my favorite.
nice close-ups - they're IDM album covers waiting to happen.

I LOVE rust shots. There's just something special about details in nature that I can't get away from. I specialize in up close focusing. Whenever I try a picture from 5 feet away or farther, it ends up horrible. I couldn't see them as album covers though. If you want to use one, however, by all means go ahead, just say who the photograph was from.

btw, i've been thinking of purchasing a digital camera. what's a good brand that is not too expensive on the wallet? i'm shooting for below $150, hopefully.

To ToXiKFB and Oddioblender: Sony Mavica Digital Camera. I got mine at Walmart for under a $100.00 on sale. It's a piece of crap camera, but if you can get good angles and lighting, you are set. (Maybe a good focusing lens too.)

Unfortunaly, I don't havea focusing lens attachment. I just get lucky when it auto-focuses. I took about 115 pictures today, and those were the ones I selected as looking "good" out of them.

All I recommend is staying in one spot and take a billion shots of the subject in different ways until one comes out nice. That's all I ever do. Oh, and never try to take an up-close picture of a spider. One jumped on me today and I screamed like a girl when my neighboor was outside.

nice macros..
oddio: buy a film camera (slr) for that price; it'll be cheaper and better quality.
