This shouldn't impact on his ability to take good photographs.
And this is a beauty.
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 9:02 pmNice Matt! I sooo want a macro lens..
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2005 9:12 pmUgly creature but rather beautiful image. Good use of your equipment. I'm glad I stopped to look. Thanks,

Wow - how did you get DOF like that on a macro shot? Well done.

It's a combination of a small f/stop and a little judicious cropping. Digital does macro much better than film.

Didn't think about cropping - I assume the OOF bit got cropped out at the top. Clever since that makes the image that much stronger. Another clever idea to file away for when I get better skills.

eg. tripod used, lighting used (eg. single strobe, double strobe, macro ring flash etc) etc etc etc!
