[QUOTE="J-see, post: 368733, member: 31330"] I fear my tutorial is short; point the lens into the right direction and push the button. ;) To be honest, it isn't that hard. I'm shooting macro for no longer than maybe two months now. I just took a lot of shots, tried everything up to the extremes and in that, learned some tricks and shortcuts. But in the end, it's just pointing the lens and pushing the button. What works for me is: shutter speed rules. I use the sharpest aperture of the lens, usually 7 to 11 and don't bother with trying to close down. That's overrated. But shutter speed = sharpness. And I shoot in burst for a very simple reason; when I push the button, the first shot suffers that push, the second too if shutter is fast but the third is free of that. I ALWAYS shoot in bursts.
