The narrow depth of field has been one of the aspects of these images 
that makes them feel somewhat incomplete to me. This image was taken 
outdoors and was hand-held with the camera in my right (finger on the 
focus ring) and the flower in my left. This summer, I invested in a set 
of lights and a light box to continue these macro foliage studies. My 
lens goes down to f32 and I've been impressed with the DoF at that 
opening...and if I need to hand-hold something, it will be less of an 
issue as I'm firing at 1/1000th with one strobe at full power (need to 
experiment with different power/shutter/f-stop combinations to see if I 
can't emphasize shadows a little more). I'll have a cacti image from the 
first round of shots I took on Thursday up in next week's gallery.
