First walk in the garden

[jkenzie]

I recently picked up a macro lens and have just begun to play with it.
None of my shots are as sharp and crisp as I would like. :dunno
Just wondering if there are any other Nikon 105 users out there that might wish to share their technique.

not too bad :D . first 3 seem a bit underexposed to me. are you manual focusing?

[schmoo]

Huh, really? The 3rd and 4th look pretty darned sharp to me! :huh

I love the reflections in the 5th, but I agree that they seem a touch underexposed. At least on the monitor I'm viewing them with now.

If you get any sharper, I'll just have to give up and sell all my equipment.
