    Still cant get enough of my 105 Macro...doubles as a telephoto or portrait and goes in to focus on 1/2 inch to subject...

    However...when doing close ups...the pin sharp focus area is literally up to luck when hand held because if you breath that much movement of your body takes the focal area too and fro...
    See in yellow shot chest is pin sharp and head is fading...

    High blood pressure photogs stay away from this lens

    You know, I always find myself holding my breath when shooting long focal lengths off a tripod. It must have been a subconscious decision, but it works for me. However, I've never shot with a macro lens where the DOF can be evenly measured in millimeters. Something else to consider is that rotating the camera will skew the focal plane, so try to avoid focus lock + recompose.

    Ah Ha!

    You mean that the sweet spot of peripheral focus is at 3 oclock and 9 oclock...
    so if my camera was level at say 10:30 and 4:30...I am missing my best shot at a clean
    chance of anything off center left and right would be in total Focus...

    I Did Not Know That!

    Great shots, where is the Tall waterfall located..south america?

    Whoops, no that's not what I meant. That may be the case with some lenses depending on how evenly polished the glass is or something, but I don't know.

    Sharp focus is a plane, and it's perpendicular to the axis of your lens barrel. Assume for example you are hold the camera with the lens perfectly parallel to the floor. You focus at some obscenely wide aperture and long focal length giving you a plane 1mm wide of sharp focus right on a bird's eye. Then the bird lifts his head a bit. You tilt the camera (tilt was probably a better word to have used) up, so now the lens is no longer parallel to the ground. Unless you refocus, his eye is probably no longer within that thin sliver plane of focus.

    In this cheesy illustration, assume you've focused on the "o", and that the lines represent the plane of focus. In the second, when you've tilted the camera up, you've also tilted the plane of focus off the subject.

    Code:
    |        
o    <-camera looking this way
|       

  /
o    <-camera looking this way
/
    So what I'm suggesting may have happened with that first butterfly is that you focused on its eyes, but then tilted the camera a bit, skewing the plane of focus enough to miss his eye.

    I usually focus on animals' eyes and go home and find I'm off a bit. Not sure if it's my technique or whether the AF on my Canon 40D is inaccurate.


    Thanks! Nope, those are Oahu, HI.

    got ya...altering the distance from the left offcenter of lens to right side offcenter from the subject changes focal distance of entire scene left to right...

    Yep, thats how minoot ( minute) the DOF is on this Macro

    Now I will be aware, and try to stay square to subject...


    Great Tip!
