yeah, this is actually a "point and shoot" camera i'm using. an old Fuji f30 that takes nice low light images. the macro doesn't work nearly as well as i'd like it to.
i'm going to try and get a good macro setup for my canon 20d so i can take higher quality shots.
nice, you're in WNC as well. lots of land to explore

There sure is. I might try to borrow my friend's "shitty" camera (canon t2i) and take some pics. there are a few places I would really like to capture with HQ

What's from the earth is of the greatest worth. 
So before u knock it, try it first and you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse.

no, definitely not active. perhaps actively deadly 
i don't do much "wild" hunting for actives (although a few have crossed my path over the years).

Those are fantastic pictures. My camera is just a point and shoot Panasonic Lumix, but it has a Leica lens and takes great shots as well.
