anis 0 Posted August 21, 2004 Hi abdullah, you are right about the DOF.. I had shot this at about f/16 in 1:1 macro.. and then I do have one at f/32, but the DOF did not extend all the way to the wings even at f/32. and also, I couldnt get more shots as it flew away after few shots.... Thanks again for the ratings/critque. Link to comment
krister hall 0 Posted August 24, 2004 The DOF is enough but mabe it nees a little USM, or maybe the focus should be a little closer to the camera... It is hard to tell when the picture is so small. A perfect "fly" composition!! Link to comment
anis 0 Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks Krister. Coming from you , this is a real compliment. You are among the best macro (if not the best) photographer I know. You are right that the plane of focus could have been a bit closer.. But for some reason, It looked ok through the view finder and reasonably sharp in the "raw" format image.. (one of) The main mistake I did was that I didnt spot meter it correctly, and my center weighted meter unexposed the fly significantly as the fly was on a white surface.. Hopefully I should do better next time. Thanks again. Link to comment
