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.
