I found that hand holding while taking a shot of anything inches away is difficult. The slightest movement will drastically change where the DOF occurs. The use of a filter on my 70-200 which will allow me to do Macro ( well, close to macro) is something i'm going to look into. The advantage to using the filter is to eliminate the need for focus stacking as the DOF is larger. Such as shooting flowers and getting the entire subject in focus. As far as lighting. If in bright sun light, I use a diffuser over head which does a pretty good job. Haven't tried using flash yet.</p></blockquote><p></p>
