Done it again, go out for a bit of fun and later discover that I had the ISO on 400. Pants! But still pretty happy. Went back out and the sun had gone in. Oh well.

Thanks Adam, apart from the noise I was pretty pleased, and contending with the wind as well. Must be something rubbing off from you and Carl.

Off all disciplines, Macro is most demanding of low iso - ironically needing the smallest apertures to render detail - a pain in the trossachs!
Great detail in the thorax!

Thanks Carl, Yeh it's getting the DoF right that is pretty demanding. I got sort of lucky-ish with having the ISO at 400, given the breeze today, though I did wonder, at the time, how I was getting 1/500sec at F8 (should have sussed it from that). I am very much still learning about aperture for macro work, it makes all the difference between a good shot and a large pile of poo.

You could write a book on aperture and macro
At times, f2.8 is stunning for breaking a subject from the background but awful for real 1:1 close up use, where even f16 brings sharp focus to about a centimetre. Then again, dropping down to f4 can almost abstract a creature and create a work of art from a mundane subject. I love my aperture wheel - shoot, spin, shoot again - see which works best!
