Frogspawn Macro Photo - Updated with ANOTHER New Shot

[sphelps]

Yes much better, considerably better when you consider that you're closer than the original, it's still a little softer than I would expect though. Are you auto-focusing or manual? Also are you using a remote or timer to trigger the camera?

Auto and remote

You could try manual focus and focus on your center DOF which will give the biggest range. I suspect the tank glass is the bigger issue though, I've seen those 10 gallons bow pretty good which could be causing the softer edges.

I like the third one nice job.
How do you get F57 is that just the camera mine only goes up to F22 or is that the lens? I shoot a 30D Canon.
You could shoot in Program mode that way you can set all your parameters.

I think it's the lens b/c it doesn't go that high with other lens.

How do you mean set all parameters in program mode? Like my shutter, etc?

I think he means programed auto (P) which allows you to set up all your parameters manually but selects both shutter speed and aperture. Not really ideal plus you're already shooting in aperture priority which allows all the same parameters to be setup manually with the addition of aperture.

I think it was just a little miscommunication regarding what was ment by setting the exposure compensation. It's not that it couldn't be set just that you don't have the bar on your top LCD, right?

And yes the F number range is a feature of the lens.

Parameters = exposure compensation?

Yeah I didn't think I could adjust it but only because the chart wasn't showing up on the lcd or in the view finder... turns out I can set it I just wish it was always showing like it does in manual. I also wish it was on the top lcd ... which it never is
