It looks like a old man with crazy eyes red wiskers and a go tee, and the video is not working on my computer so I can't coment in that.

if you can play music like you shoot macro you be very very good! Awesome ~ though i'd probably not want to look at them before going to bed.

Beautiful photo and an incredible video Albert!

Thanks! I'm still using my old D40 with the reversed 18-55mm kit lens for the macro shots. Here's my setup: http://www.flickr.com/people/prodigi/ However, the FZ35 can also produce good quality macro images. Here are some image samples: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamayoalbert/4856160789/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamayoalbert/4862863540/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamayoalbert/4919092724/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamayoalbert/4997715416/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/tamayoalbert/6129185459/in/photostream

Albert, I see the video was shot with the Lumix FZ35 - is that the camera you used for the macro shots too? If so, what lens adapter do you use? I have the FZ40 but find it impossible to get decent macro images with it.
