[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 576657, member: 16844"] Those are very small apertures and fast shutter speeds. To get your exposure correct you need to learn about the "exposure triangle" (just google it) and the relationship between shutter speed, aperture ad iso. For these photos I would suggest shooting at no less (more) than f8-11. Shutter speed is probably ok but set ISO to Auto and let the camera help you until you understand better. Be sure to have focus on AF-C as animals move and I would use center weighted exposuring. The head not being in focus could be technique, movement from the mantis, lens may need fine tuning, camera shake, no VR. Lots of possibilities - just keep practising. :) Your exif data is showing so you have uploaded correctly [/QUOTE]
