Day 18: Most of my "macro" photography work isn't "macro" at all, not in the sense of using a close-up lens to make the shot. Without a remote flash, it can be challenging to keep the camera's shadow out of an image when you're only an inch from your subject. I prefer to stand back and zoom, and the Canon SX30 IS and its relatives offer some pretty impressive magnification. In this instance, my subject was about six feet from the camera position. I was zoomed in digitally at 95x (approximately equivalent to an 800 mm. lens). Milady's lovely lace fan measured less than half an inch from wingtip to wingtip. If you flip the image 90 or 180 degrees, it will be easier to recognize the subject as a tiny moth.
