Re: More boring macro

Angela i'm going to write some tutorial, i don't know when (it'll have to wait for bad weather) but i'll explain everything.

as quick answer - patience. i'm waiting even 10 mins for 1 second without wind. i'm taking 20 or more shots if i'm not sure about sharpness. insects are sensitive to light - if you don't stand between them and sun they won't run away. stay still and don't move. get to them as slow as you can. and... i've noticed i keep my breath when shooting because it's hard to stay still in wired position trying to find that ideal point for sharpness. use manual focusing - block it, and move your body to find sharpness. i don't know what else to say.
