You guys are really inspiring me! I didn't know you could get such great shots with the Passport.
No surprise I guess, since I can rarely get good shots even with my fancy DSLR :-)
The 1:1 aspect ratio has always fascinated me. Some of my best DSLR shots are cropped 1:1. This ratio introduces incredible sophistication and simplicity, making your main object stand out. 1:1 is also quite often suitable for central composition. That's why I find the Passport particularly appropriate.
It was free some months ago, I'm absolutelly sure. Try searching keyword Mobisoft in BBW instead of Camera++ which leads to tons of camera apps. Searching Mobisoft gets 4 apps only and Camera++ is one of them. See also http://appworld.blackberry.com/webst...ntent/59348437

Thanks for the feedback! I will explain how it works. Yes, indeed they do not stay still. In action macro there is a term I use, called 'creative variation span'. When shooting butterflies it is common practice to have them inseparable from the plant they feed on. So, the plant-butterfly combo gives you a certain area where you can play with them in terms of macro photography. Sometimes I wait until the butterfly leaves the plant, sometimes it just flies around the plant and goes back. This creates beautiful moments to capture. Depending on the equipment you can go for different approaches. Well, the most common practice with the Passport is just doing a burst while waiting for the magic to happen. With a DSLR, especially a good one, your chances are better and more unique, but still Passport does the job. It is a game of patience and observation and you should love what you do, that is the recipe.
And #23's rotation is not right... another tip for those who use passports native camera app: Keep rotation lock active. If you disable it and have the AF set to its closest focusing distance, if you rotate the phone, you will lose the AF lock.
Wow! Radoslav, these are amazing. It just goes to show that a talented photographer can do stunning things even without the very best tools. I am in awe.

And yes, equipment is not everything. I used to have Nikon D70, shot 35mm colour negative (mainly macro), used to own Nikon D300s with 105mm VR lens. I switched back to my old D70, as I see no difference in the creative impact both on film / more sophisticated DSLR system. I am reverting back to my former habits and initial inspiration after more than a decade of successful macro work, I am an old-fashioned photographer.
