Thanks , I am using family camera Olympus FE-115 but I am preparing to buy better ... or borrow camera from friend to make more nice photos

[gabranth]

this is the best pic my camera can take can't see anything

[Skippy]

you need light ... try to put tube for small time under some light (best is white light or sun-light) and then shot it , then low camera has bigger chance to get better picture (not all are good ,you must try , from me is one from 15 useable )

[gabranth]

thats the thing its right under a light with the flash all i can see if a pure white pic



edit too another one with a lamp on it and its still crap

Very nice skippy.. im gonan be taking pics of my ants today ... Hope they come out even half as good as yours lol

[Skippy]

I taking photos under light but without flash ... what your camera need is , take photos in min 4 cm from object ... that is the matter why maybe my photos are like they are , your camera probably do not know to take that , but we see tube and it is what we need to see

[gabranth]

@ gabranth: you need a good camera in the first place.

Great pictures there ol' Skipper.

@gabranth
Try to put your camera into Makro or Super makro mode - of course if it has one. Then put some light on the subject and you should make something a bit more decent.
