Hey Paul,

This take clearly demonstrates that there is enough DoF (at ƒ2,8?… yes, confirmed
by exif!) the get the whole monster perfectly sharp. One can see the corridor of
sharpness spreading bottom left to upper right in front of the subject. Had you focused
not on the lateral hair but on say the "antenna" I suspect that you would have got the
whole caterpillar in sweet sharpness!

Exposition and rendition are perfect.

Lovely capture Paul, I can see the focus dropping off at the top of caterpillar, next time try somewhere between F11 and F14, still a great image though, keep them coming

Very nice image

Thanks Kodiak. I focused by setting it to 1:1. Then moved my head back and forth. Needed to be more parallel to the subject I think.

Thank you David. I will try that light permitting. If I had used a tripod I would have upped the f-stop.

Hi Paul, I use diffused flash on 99% of my macro shots, it makes hand held shots so much easier
