I hope this is acceptable (my first post on FM)! I shot this with my Rebel XT & Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro in my backyard pond a while back. It's not a true macro (probably works out to about 1:3 or so), but hopefully it's close enough.

300mm, f/5.6, 1/200, ISO 400

I was hoping to photograph frogs in my daughter's pond and had set up, laying on the ground with my Canon100 hanging over the water, aimed at a spot I seen some candidates. Nothing, they'd done a disappearing trick! A while later I was just about to give up when I spotted this one sitting directly under the lens - I had to back up!

Sorry for falling off the radar there!

Does anyone shoot herps with an ultra-wide lens? I'm considering purchasing a 10-22 for a different perspective.

Many shots from this year's Nactus award feature a rather strange, but cool wide perspective:

I own a tokina 12-24 and always found the close focus distance (about 1 foot) to be really intriguing idea for macro work, but the photographer side of me really dislikes the distortions. Most of the field work I do is usually at night, which means I usually have to do fairly close up shots with strobes/reflectors and such and eliminates the option of using the wide. Looking at some of those incredible shots, though, makes me think I may have to start using it more.

Released some baby eastern box turtles last fall in a preserve near where I live. Here's one of them posing for a shot on his way to freedom.

Great shot, Phillip. Panoramic view really brings out the patterns in the scales.
