[QUOTE="JA Warrior, post: 147545, member: 14067"] I've been experimenting and getting better with close-up product shots using the Nikon D5100's 18-55mm AF-S kit lens, but I'm still a bit baffled when it comes to getting better depth of field. For example, though I've messed with aperture settings in the M mode, I'm still not getting the depth I want when doing close-ups of figurines, etc. In this photo a distance of only 1 inch from the deer's eyes to his nose yields a blurred nose when I had manually focused on the eyes. I realize this isn't a major issue, but the better the overall focus the better for sales, I believe. Is it a settings issue? Is it a lens issue? Is it just normal? Any ideas? Thanks!
