Its a sharp picture, very nice....

I took this creature before, but I can not get the whole body focus. Only the front part focused. My aperture that time was 4.0

Do you think its because of my aperture, I can only set to 8.0 max

How many shots did you take? How many can be consider succesfull?

You want the whole body in focus? As a general guide, shoot it at an angle that is parallel to the fly (side view). Top view would also yield a clear full body pic. Any other angle would cause only partial focus point on the insect. This apply to butterfly, dragonfly and grasshopper etc too.

That's really a very nice damselfly - no, I mean the shot!

What time did you do the shoot? What'll happen if you keep the exposure at 0 instead of adding or minus-ing?

You can find damselflies at Marsh Gardens ( Botanic Gardens ) from early morning 7am to 10am ...

Thanks!

Will go find some one of these days.
