[QUOTE="nickt, post: 556917, member: 4923"] I don't know your lens, but here is a dragonfly with the Tamron 60mm. 1/200, F32, handheld with autofocus (af-c single point) and flash. I think it was the on board flash. Its a fairly heavy crop. The tamron is fairly short physically, so I get good luck with the on board light clearing the end of the lens. Some here use homemade diffusers. Try to get as square on to the bug as possible to minimize depth. Also balance backing up and cropping vs getting real close. You will get a larger depth of field by backing up but of course lose pixels in cropping. I've since learned if I am using flash to get the high aperture, I also need to get my shutter speed up to max sync speed to minimize the effect of ambient light blurring the shot if it is a bright day. If the sun is bright enough, I can get a decent shot without flash, but need a fairly high shutter speed to be sharp and I can't use the way high apertures. Flash is easier. There are some other macros in my gallery, I think they are all with flash and high aperture. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]211680._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
