Caplio R6 Dragonfly Macro

[costa]

I was very lucky to find this species who enoyed the encounter with the Caplio R6 and with 7x zoom I could get close enough (25cm) to get beautiful macros without scaring my model away. We spend over 10 minutes together while I had the chance to try macro movie mode, continious shooting (2 pic/sec at 7mp) and several single shots. The shots are 7x zoom macros, freehand while squatting down. There was a certain ammount of movement from my side and we had light wind so the dragonfly was a bit moving too. I was amazed how much sharp detail the R6 piced up under these difficult shooting circumstances.

here is the 7mp version: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Ricoh.Cap ... 6743032866
