well, whatever it is, it feels right

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.

like fireworks, but enlarged the narrow depth of field and
random focus doesn't work too well.   Seems that the
center should be as sharp as the filaments surrounding it.
