[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 809440, member: 50197"] Here you go Fred. [ATTACH type="full"]395111[/ATTACH] Focus point was on the ant tending her herd. I had the zoom set to 50mm to get some working distance as the lens was shading the subject from the flash. I should have gone back inside and gotten another tripod and the wireless flash controller to position the flash at a different angle. This means I didn't get as much magnification as I would have liked and had to crop more than I would have liked. This is the first time I have used focus peaking. Sounds like something you could get arrested for. :rolleyes: I will have to use this in the future and see if it works well for me. I think it will. Thanks for the suggestion. Here's one using one of the small background cards the Pup got. It's a set of 5 - 5"x7" cards with different diffuse color backgrounds. I didn't get a good position on the ant, but it shows what you can do if the background is poor, if you have enough hands. [ATTACH type="full"]395113[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
