I'm trying my hand at macro shooting. This one was on a cloudy day so the contrast is low. With macro shots the light is much less than when shooting at "normal" distances, so the lens will open up and the depth of field will drop. Close down the lens and the exposure time rises so any movement will smear the subject. So, it's a challenge to get the subject sharp - notice the near wing and near leg is fuzzy. Camera is a Olympus C5050
