[QUOTE="nidding, post: 228171, member: 17555"] Thanks for the good advice. I'll try it out as soon as I have the time to mess about. It might actually be a bit of both. First of all, I feel like I'm not getting the focus 100%. Could be DOF or could be the lens. The shots above were stepped down a couple of steps. But maybe stepping it down a few more and using a more direct flash could be a way to go. I have been looking a little bit into stacking. However I'm using linux and haven't found a good program to do it yet. Still looking though :) I've tried adding sharpness in darktable, but can't really get the plug in to work. Maybe I should try the equalizer, I've had a little better results with that, so far. What diffuser would you use on the flash? Just the milky plastic cap to put on top? I haven't got a extension cable for the flash, so It will have to be mounted in the hot shoe. Could that work? ANd off course you are right with the practice. That's the best way to learn. A few pointer of which roads not to take can be helpful as well :) So thanks again. I'll return when I've tried a few more times :) [/QUOTE]
