I don't shoot macro too often and so I did yesterday. This time, because my 105. lense hunts so much in low light and it was very dark and overcast, I set it in manual focus (I do not think you can change that after you have made the call and put it in the Ike housing). I was told to use the modeling light by a pro. Next time, I will try that and hope to focus better. can anyone give me a few pointers with this lense? Early on I got some very nice results and evidently they were flukes because I cannot replicate what ever technique I used. aloha.
the first ones I shot a year ago, I cannot get the same results. I now see I can right click and see the settings.... why am I having trouble focusing now? The last two look "soft" and I had trouble with the focus. Is there anything else I am missing? I have not graduated into photoshop or RAW yet. Why could the color look so much worse in the ones shot yesterday? Are there any little "decision tree-algorithms" anywhere that might make me help mutiple variable decisions?
