Yesterday i did try getting a good sharp macro photo of a small spider. I did use a flash to get enough light and even used a tripod which i normally don't use.
I could not get a sharp photo of the spider. It was a very small spider, about 2mm. I know that the DOF is very narrow in macro and i usually don't go beyond f/11 on my full frame camera. I don't have a macro lens for the Nikon d7100.
I used the magnification and was sure that i had a good focus but none of the photos was sharp. i used 1/250 second shutterspeed with the flash. That should be good enough to freeze any movement.
How do you go ahead with very small insects? I don't have a problem with bees, wasps and generally any insect that is larger than 1 cm but do struggle with anything smaller than 0.5 cm
