The thing for me to learn was focal plane when youve sussed that your on a , might take a while lol lots of experimenting

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Might drop you a message if I get stuck or have a question regarding the proper use of it. Got a good tripod coming on monday so until then don't expect too much :p

Focal plain is everything in macro, easy to suss out, makes a mile diff to your images, cant really be taught look through your eye peice and tilt your camera, youll see the DOF coming in

Its butterfly and bug/bees/wasps/insects season now so youll get some good shots (y)

often I use my flash sync settings guaranteed to get the shot
 
I've just got a wireless flash commander (canon ST-E2) and a yonguo 565 speed light so I should be able to set up some quite creative macro shots, all things willing anyway! We'll see though.

I'll definitely have a play with it tomorrow though and try and fully work out the focal plane when my tripod turns up.
 
Welcome to TP :wave:

I cannot really add on what Dave has said but I know your struggle of looking round the house for stuff to shoot on a rainy day (y) think about photo projects like water drops etc (y)

Never been much of a fan of water drop based photos sadly :(

Next time the weather is awful I think I'll try an idea I have on how shadows play out in the house. We'll see though!
