The Scattering *

I feel slightly disadvantaged that my widest lens is also my cheapest and has no decent macro capability... :)

Traveller - thanks for your comments. I find myself using iso800 almost all the time these days, and very rarely does it significantly affect the image.
I do have a tripod, but I was going for shallow DOF anyway (rightly or wrongly...), so handholding at 1/40 wasn't too bad. Phil

Hi Phil: This image has real possibilities...but you would have to use a tripod to really crank up the f-stops for a deep DOF. This would also enable you to use a lower asa if you wished, though 800 does seem to work on this image.

Should you be tripod poor...lol...meaning you don't own one, (not everyone does), then you can always still use mirror lockup, sit the camera on any solid surface and blast away. Have fun. Real Best Wishes, Traveller
