Nice pictures, what are you using to capture them?

Canon rebel XT set on 8 MP, 18-55 zoom all the way. manual setting aperture wide open, If I remember right ISO 100, shutter speed 125. I'm not sure of the shutter speed though.

I enlarged these to 8X10, came out pretty good. I may try again using a filter or a 2 mag lens adapter.
