I agree.

Azone. You are getting good at this!

P/S: Do you use a mono/tri-pod?

Thanks mega, luisg, isomers007, malkw and wolfgang.

No, all the shots are taken handheld.

Sidetrack: how come f/8 can achieve such a strong DOF effect?

Hey, don't we all?

But i reckon his shots came out through his hard work, loads of practise and a good eye.

So, envy not, and keep taking shots. Let his dedication inspire us. His level is something we can aspire to reach.

Yes it can. For digi cams, F8 can produce a DOF good enough for most insect macros.

Yes, keep practising. Its after taking countless shots before i had a better grasp of the techniques used in composing and focusing.

Let me add to the list of compliments - amazing stunning shots. Is it cropped? I have not been shooting for a quite a while already.

tomshen · 26th August 2002

Falcon,
Nope, no cropping was done to them. Only resize and USM.

f/8 on consumer digicams are actually very small openings - the S602z lens is 7.6mm-48mm (as far as I can tell from DPReview picture

).

The effective aperture size at 48mm is 48/8 = 6; this is roughly equivalent to an f/11 aperture on a 105mm SLR lens.
