Macro photos comes to my mind every time I see a plan or a fingerprint. It really wonderful see all the details that only a magnifier glass is able to show.
Using a Canon G9 is not the best way to take macro photos because the image becomes too dark. However, using a external flash helps a lot and, that is really important, is hundred of bucks cheaper that a better camera.
That said, I want a better camera. I liked this photo but I wonder if it wasn’t better taking it without flash.
