Macro probs
Hi all,
Are macro photos (or close up!) possible with a kit lens. Im using Canon 60D with 18-55 kit lens. Im using 55mm end and kinda getting adequate shots indoors but pretty poor ones outdoors - blurry etc. I'm starting to have a little more success indoors - controlled lighting / close up filters / manual focusing / tripod etc. However outdoors is a nightmare! Ideally I'd like to use small aperture 3.5 etc but then its so shallow even a mild breeze throws it out of focus. So using larger aperture means slower shutter - again no good. So I could increase ISO, but then added noise. Aaaargh!! Anyone any thoughts pls? I could buy dedicated macro lens but would this be any good and havent really got the cash yet. Also any thoughts on focusing? As i said earlier I'm focusing manually indoors but cant really do that outdoors cos of slight breezes etc. Sorry if this is a newbie ques - but thoughts would be appreciated. Could anyone offer help? Thx in anticipation, Pete
