You should have said that to start with. I thought you were talking about all of them.
Originally posted by hangman43 am no expert but from my experience the log legged fly picture is not OOF it just lacks detail and a lot of that has to do with your lighting and possible diffraction issues I have some shots of long legged flies that look a lot like these from before I got my set up the way it is now.
I don't remember which one was shot at f22, probably the fly. When I noticed the aperture was on f22, I changed that to f18, Then the a few shots later I changed it to f11. I beleive the wasp was shot at f11. I normally shoot at f8, but with the new combination I though f11 woudl be enough.
Tim, thanks. for the info; and clarifying the fly was in focus. Appreciate the name also as. I didn't know what they were called. So, f16 is best, eh? I'll have to try that today.
Long legged flies, are tiny, about the size of a match head and very hard to keep in focus because they jump around a lot. This one was the better of three I took.
