Hello,
I'm currently on my first macro shooting diving trip in Ambon. I use +6 and +8 diopter close up lenses with my camera (Sony a5100, with the kit 16-50mm lens, in a Meikon housing and a s&s YS - 02 strobe).
I'm trying to get deeper depth of field (DoF) so that I can get more parts from each creature (shrimps, nudies etc) in focus.
I've noticed that lowering the aperture size doesn't affect much the depth of field. My camera goes down to f/22 and that's what I'm usually using but it is not enough.
Interestingly wide apertures like f/10 or so don't make much difference anyway.
Anything else that can be done?
Thanks in advance
