1st attempts at Macro

[petehb]

Being reletively new to DLSR (weeks) I thought I would try my hand at Macro, got a long way to go yet Fred my model is not the most co-opperative but I am enjoying it.

Not very good at posting images either

Not bad for a first try but make sure you resize your images as they cannot be larger than 800x800 for the forum

I would try maybe a different aperture to get a bit faster shutter speed.
On 2 of the shots above you have been using f32 which gave you slow speeds and some shots are blurry. Also most lenses are not as sharp at f32 due to diffraction.
Try f11 to f22 and see if it is better if speeds fall below 1/100 or increase your ISO a bit

Have you been in my garden? My first macro posting was yesterday with a spider and hoverfly as well Agree they are a little soft, first one is my favourite for the colours and it is the sharpest
