Mini Studio
After reading through my all time favorite blog Lifehacker I came across a DIY mini photo studio. I have been looking to buy one from ThinkGeek for some time now and never thought about making it myself. After making it I noticed that I never got any lights so I got my LED flashlight and placed it on top (rather than the side). I got amazing photos but would like to get better lighting, something that I would have more control over.
Here is what I got from it.
The first photo I turned on the auto flash and focus.
The second photo I turned off the flash. I had to move the camera back because the camera would auto focus out up close.
The last image I used the cameras macro function. I was able to bring the camera right up close and still have an amazing photo with no blur.

This photo is from a trail in the north end of Oshawa, right behind the airport (also known as Butterfly](http://ben.hovinga.me/files/2010/06/201006080011.jpg)

This is a very bare field about 200 m south of purple woods.
