Good work Nick, I'm still trying to get that sort of sharpness hand held.

Don't know the first thing about macro, but really like the one of the bee.

Dumb question: With such a sort DOF, is it tricky focussing on the part you want?

Nick

Excellent shots, yet again.

Nick is young and training to be a doctor. I'm glad his hands don't shake like mine do :wink:

On the contrary, I find focussing at F2.8 not too hard. The DOF is so thin that you can see exactly what point you are focusing on. You have to be still to keep that point in focus though, which is were a tripod helps a lot too. But lots of the time I can't be bothered with a tripod.
