Here we go. I was wondering how to improve on these first three.. I'm thinking deeper DOF. It was a macro 2.8f. The wind was also a factor.

The last one is a shot glass my lady friend got for me. I lvoe the ble drop in the bottom. I wanted to get INTO the blue, but as I zoomed, it became more and more difficult to focus. I tried all combinations of apertures and focus. My camera is also not the greatest. It focuses thru the processor and a pixilated LED screen. The view finder is NO better, even more pixilated. What kind of lighting would be best suited for this? Back drop? Surfaces?

Bad immage noise at higher ISO's so I normally keep it at 100 ISO. I'm going to try to reshoot it at a higher sensitivity.

    Hi there! I think what's missing on your shot is sharpness, your DOF isn't bad, but your flower is too soft and blends in with background. May be put some PS to work and try to adjust saturation to bring the color of the flower in. You can also sharpent them a bit.
    Thanks for sharing these! thumb.gif
