these are awesome..
I have a canon macro lens and I don't know why I can't get these kinda shots without having that blur..
any setting help would be so much appreciated!

Thanks Alice

Not sure quite what you mean by blur- do you mean narrow DOF effects or do you mean problems with camera shake/ subject motion ?

I read your macro training.. ;0) it was my Ap settings.. need to go higher not lower..
dork moment on my part!

Beautiful shots Brian.
As always, stunning detail.


Ladykassie, no dork moment. Something us macro enthusiasts probably all do at some point. We try to use a nice big aperture to speed up shutter times in order to reduce motion blurring and in the process decrease DoF

It's all a learning curve and here is one of the best places to learn
