Macro Photography with Canon G9

Here are some macro shots of a Champagne glass I took a few weeks ago to test out the macro capabilities of the Canon G9. For a small point-and-shoot it packs some powerful capabilities. The first two shots were at 400 ISO and the third shot was at 200 ISO. I took some even more close-up than the last shot. The lens was quite literally IN the glass! Certainly something you can't do with an SLR! But the top-down view you see here in the third shot is as close as I could get and keep sharp focus. With all of these shots though, I had to clean-up the digital noise (the downside of a small point-and-shoot) with Noise Ninja.
