How did you managed to get a clear shot? I tried using the Canon 100mm Macro, seems like when I try to do a macro shot, always blur due to handshake.

This is my first time.. and my lens is a totally manual focus lens.
Did you use an ext flash to help? If yours is autofocus.. maybe a monopod couple
with an ext flash light might help... me still at learning stage..:embrass:
I do encoutered blur shots too.. maybe just hv to keep trying..all the best!!!

For pics no. 1 may be can change the persective in such a way the the leaf gets out of focus.

Thanks Ortega.
Should I tilt the flash at certain angle to reduce the harsh effect??. I am wondering how effective the flash would be if I tilt since there is no ceiling outdoor.

 

[ortega]

i am not too sure about the tilt.
As i mostly use my built-in flash for fill
balanced with the ambient light.

Oic, when fit my manual macro lens.. all auto would
not work including the built in flash.
