[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 115087, member: 9240"] Agreed on the shutter speed. For stuff like this it helps to have a tripod (a rule I break constantly to my own great frustration), but as a rule you'll want a shutter speed that matches or exceeds your focal length (i.e. at 105mm you want something faster than 1/105 sec) to minimize camera moverment. VR helps, but with a subject like this it's more important to eliminate all movement (remember, turn off VR when using a tripod). The subject is deep enough that you can't reduce aperture as the back end is already a little soft focused so your choice is tripod or raise your ISO - or keep shooting until you get one. Thankfully digital film is cheap. ;) [/QUOTE]
