danc Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Dave. Macro is a lot of fun. I love the Blue Jay shot. Checking your exif on the second shot, I see that you used an aperture setting of f4. To get greater depth of field, or more of your subject in focus, use a higher aperture setting such as f22. This will also slow down you shutter speed so you might want to use a tripod and your timer as well. Thanks for posting Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shots.

Thanks Dan \ I will try that, That blue jay landed on my hand 7 times and my lens was about 1ft away. I also had a woodpecker and multiple chicadees
BillM Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 For that Bluejay shot I'd shoot it as wide open as possible (lowest f stop your lens will do).. You should get a super sharp, crisp image.. You could also try shutter priority mode on your camera (Tv) and see what it turns out like. You'll wanna run around 1/320 or more to eliminate blur.
dsn Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Love your macro shots! It's always fun to stop and admire the tiny things around us! One trick I have learned in Photography class is meter readings. If a picture is too bright in the background and it's too dark in the foreground , find a spot in the middle (between the brightest and Darkest point) take a meter reading there By holding the shutter button down half way Then reposition your composition the way You like and press the shutter button down rest Of the way. Then you'll end up with a photo not too bright and not too dark. Hope that doesn't sound too complicated. Easier done then said.
