use a tripod to avoid moving. and MF to control your focus. at a shallow dof, e.g. 2.8, and close up under 1 foot, any slight movement can put you oof. remember my mantis shot? i had to push myself against the wall and window to stay steady since i had no time to grab and set up my tripod, ringflash etc. - thankfully the mantis was on a window ledge along a common corridor and not in a bush - thankfully no one called the police :lol:

thanks bro trigger , most of the time shooting macro , a tripod is a MUST to bring along ? but when using a flash , doesn't it helps a bit in slight movements ? |
