Don't forget the light issues with macro photography i.e. the camera
blocking the light. A whole new ball game.....

I'm confused enough as it is (and have ruined many a good photo in my
amateurish approach but letting my own shadow appear). Maybe a miner's
helmet with a bright light attached will sort this problem?

I'm beginning to wonder whether the approach should be take a wider
shot at 12MP to get high definition, crop down to the little creature
and then expand the image. But then I don't know what I'm talking
about when it comes to photography so will shut up before someone asks
if I've moved to the Isle of Wight

The super macro setting on my camera allows the lens to almost touch the
subject but, in so doing, it obviously blocks the light. I believe there's
a ring flash that sits on the edge of the lens, and probably a hundred and
one other little gizmos, but how serious does one want to get?

Very true, but in the context of the enquiry, over-egging the pudding
methinks.

The problems you mention will hardly cause anay concern with a compact.
