btw, just a diff topic...since there are many macro shooters in this thread...want to seek advice....

For "macroing", when the object is so small, even the slightest movement will cause the subject to be OOF, so how do you actually get your subject in focus, by doing cha-cha or ?

I've tried "holding my breath", but my body will still sway even the slightest...

*I hope it's not because of the equipment I use, I am using 55-250 + Raynox 250*

hmmm, that meaning...need to on flash...I've yet to make my flash diffuser yet, prob for now my background will become black, I assume...

So, the basic technique is still to:
- 1/xxx shutter speed
- flash (if needed)
- hold breath
- once in focus, shoot immediately?
 

Yes, flash is needed.
 

Dun need hold breath

Uhh

-shutter speed depends on the support you have and the movement of the subject
-flash is usually used for all macro shots because of the very small apertures used in macro photography
-hold breath but not for too long
-yes, once in focus, you can shoot immediately but make sure you don't slap the shutter button, that causes vibration. Squeeze the shutter button lightly when the subject is in focus (half press when you are focusing)

That said, I'm not a macro photographer. lol.
 

I go home n look for notes in PDF format n email u.
