Aye, considering what you're back from, it might take a bit more of a gig than that to impress!!


I'd love if you got even closer though... As in, right in with the action!

A lizard i'm babysitting for a while

After as much sharpening as possible,I've figured out this lens isn't sharp enough when focusing on close objects!

Hi Richard
A sharp image is as much about technique as it is quality of glass. What have you tried technique wise?

The lens it's self is a 82mm filter,They'd be quite a bit for me!

Techniques I tried,Manual focus,balancing on the ground as tripod was to small,Didn't need to change shutter speed of ISO as he can stay very very still,The lens it's self is a sigma 20-40 f/2.8,The photo was shot at f/2.8 and a good bit closer than the minimum focusing distance :pac:

No... It's a bee. The Hylaeus. This is a male. The females don't have a yellow as much yellow markings between the eyes. These guys are about 4-5mm in lenght.

Did you try dropping the aperture down a bit. f8 to f11. If you really want ultra sharp images, Place camera on a tripod, set ISO to 100. Put the camera mode in to TV. Set Exposure compensation to about -2. Try and get the Aperture to about f8 and pop it with a diffused flash compensated down -2/3. :0

Try it. See how it goes.

Ps: Actually, thats how I got the image above. Except I didn't use a tripod.

Cheers I will try that!

At you other point,I was replying to Cambo_gueno's post,I thought that's why he was saying that..

But thanks for telling me Didn't know bees look like that!
