the Bok Gardens in Lake Wales is amazing and has limitless macro and landscape photo ops. I had my new G10 which I tried out and I was pretty impressed with it.

Dunno the type of flower or the type of green bug .... slight crop on the bottom. Shot in Raw.

Camera: Canon PowerShot G10
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 6.1 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Exposure Bias: -1/3 EV

Very colorful and a nice use of DOF to get the key parts of the flower and both critters sharp. The green guy is a spider (check out the 8 legs and 8 eyes) and it looks like it has designs on the honeybee. The bee might be a bit large for the spider though they can tackle some pretty large prey items at times. :)

That's pretty amazing even for a Powershot, Michael! Nice detail and color - even on the reds/yellows. That bee better turn around pretty quick or...

besides macros, there is a huge variety of birds there. Cardinals, jays, woodpeckers, and the types of birds you need to be a birder to know...there were lots.

On Pbase.com I have seen some very & interesting stuff done with Powershots. They are not to be underestimated.
