Please bear with me if the question below seems like basic photography knowledge.
I tried reading up on the subject on www.Cambridgeincolour and progressed from focal length to depth of field to circle of confusion. (which is where I am now).
I recently tried taking a photograph of two soft corals as it was such a nice colour combination. The photo attached was taken in Macro mode F8 1/125 ISO 100 and the size of the corals about 2 inches. I guess that the orange cup coral (which is in focus) is centimetres closer than the purple soft coral (which is out of focus) According to the manual the focal length in macro mode is 1 50 cm.
Does anybody know what I did wrong not to get both subjects in focus or is the G10 simply not up to this job. Will a wide angle lens (as in wide angle macro photography) remedy the problem as I understand it will increase the focal range.
