Oren & Chris: As long as you're enjoying yourselves, that's what really matters.Take lots of photos and experiment with adjusting them. You get good at this the same way you get to Carnegie Hall: Practice, practice, practice. Enjoy developing your own unique style. -John
Oren,
You can easily put a CP on the G9. Canon makes a lens adapter (plastic), but the one I own is from Lensmate - it is 6061 aluminum, bead blasted, and anodized to exactly match the G9 finish - much nicer than the Canon adapter. It bayonet mounts to the G9 body after taking off the decorative ring around the lens.
It acceptes a 58 mm screw on filter or auxillary lenses - I used my 58 mm Kaesiman B + W Circular Polarizer

Had some success with this picture I think. Picked and held some pansies behind the weevil to add soem color.

Awesome, Dann!
Love the bug!
Great shot Dan. Here's one I got the other night.

Found this little fella on myshirt as I was sitting on the couch. I've just bought the Kenko extension tube set as a cheaper alternative to a macro lens and I must say I'm very impressed thus far (obviously still learning to use them as well). To put things into perspective, this little guy is perched on the top of a wooden skewer I had sitting on my dinner plate after some lovely chicken kebabs.
40D, ISO 100, 1/500, all three Kenko extension tubes stacked with Canon50mm f/1.8 II prime stopped down to f/10.
Lighting was from 420ex (camera right) attached to a home made diffuser that extends from the flash out to the front of the lens and a halogen lamp (camera left). Flashcompensation set to -2.
Enjoy.
Fishing the fisherman . . .
I took these shots several days ago. This is the first time I'veseen an Osprey with a fish but even more remarkable, itwas being chased by a Bald Eagle which I guess was looking for a free lunch. The duel between the two birds was like mini-fighter plane combat, and itwent on for quite a while but the Osprey was smart and agile. It was able to outmaneuver and finally frustrate the Eagle before going off the have lunch.

EdN those are intense!!!
EdN: Very nice shot--stunning, actually--of our nation's symbol, The Robber!
By the way, when posting shots, please let us know what equipment you were using. Thanks.
Not nearly as cool as the bugs or aerial combat, but I got a leaf on a weed in my yard. I thought it was neat.
