Macro practice

  1. This summer, I practiced shooting macro topside to get a better understanding of how lens-combos work and improving my skills in focussing. See full gallery.

    I'll appreciate your feedback!

    Hi Rob, What a beautiful and varied set of insect super-macros. The colours and separation from background are great. My only constructive criticism would be that in one or two only (including the attached image), the eyes do not appear as crisp as I would have liked. In my view, you will rarely get away with the eyes not being the sharpest point in the image. In the attached image, perhaps slightly greater depth of field would have helped? And possibly the focus point a touch further back?

     

    Regards,

  3. Thank you Mark. I guess nailing the focus is the hardest thing to do, I am still in the process of figuring out what is acceptable or not.

    Best regards,
