Well I don’t know if it’s any consolation, but I can’t handhold hardly any lens. I can maybe handhold my 17-55, but other than that, I don’t even try. The majority of my shots on the blog are all on a tripod. That’s especially true with a Macro lens. Today was a good example. I tried to take some pictures of Butterfly eggs. With the slight breeze none of my shots were in focus.

BTW, after reading your blog, I think you and I work at the same place.

A Canon Rebel 10 megapixel with a 50mm macro lens for the near stuff and a 75-300mm zoom lens for the stuff further away. My hand is not the least bit steady, though, so I always run into difficulty with the intense close ups.

Thanks Isaac! What camera and lenses do you use?

Amazing pictures.

I have a similar post, albeit nowhere near as good as yours.

The black dots in the eye are “pupils” and really move around the big green ‘eye balls’… pretty neat looking from picture to picture…
