Newbie in Macro shooting

Samfee · 18th September 2007

Like to share my pictures, just started macro shooting 2 months ago and has been practicing to improve the technique. All your comments are greatly appreciated.

Saw this interesting insect as if it is dancing. Happy viewing.

eyes are nicely captured
but i find the pictures all very weird
like the poor insect has been beheaded, for some reason, i think because only head is in proper focus
did you pp this?

for some reason i have a weird feeling re the dof here
feels like some pp has been going on?

Thanks for the comments. The focus are on the head only as it kept moving left and right and only pp on the brigntness and contrast.

Thanks reaper, using Canon S3 with Raynox DCR250 lens.

Good focus on the eyes even at F4. Do go for smaller apeture F8 for more DOF.
