For the macro shots, I used Susan's Ricoh Caplio R3 which can focus
down to 1cm. distance. For this caterpillar shot, I was pretty close to
that and had to watch out for the camera's shadow on the subject.
(Took me a couple of goes before I got it right). The camera was set
to automatic mode for the exposure (f3.6 indicated on the LCD display).
Similarly for the orange flower (can't recall the species name), but
not quite as close.
