Anyone know of a good 'macro photography' tutorial?
I picked up the Samsung branded version of the D-FA 100mm 2.8 macro lens for a steal this week... But struggling to get what I consider 'Great' results...
This is my best macro effort thus far (30 odd shots during the day, on my writing breaks) apologies for the poor subject matter!... It's at f16 - 1/125th - iso400 using off-camera flash (close but at a low setting) and crit on technique (not composition or subject matter, as I know they suck already) is welcome...
I know that the main advice will be 'practice' and I fully intend to do so but if anyone knows of a good tutorial video or book specifically geared at macro-photography I'd really appreciate a heads-up... (?)
Just as a side note... I did get a really nice candid portrait of a family friend earlier with this lens, so even if I continue to suck at macro it will be put to good use
Cheers
