I've been really enjoying using my Sigma 105 macro but I find myself struggling with the narrow DOF I get as I get closer and closer to the 1:1 end of the focus range , I know if I close the aperture down I can increase the DOF but at this end of the range the difference between f/4 and f/16 is only 1.5mm to 5.8mm .
If any one has any advice or tips on the type of settings that they find work for them I would be very grateful to hear them .
These are some of my latest images all taken hand held and the lens is the pre OS version , all critique welcome .
I know this last one has that dam twig in the background and it would be better if it's wings were apart and it was a side shot but it's the best inflight Dragonfly shot I've taken so I had to put it in
.
Thanks for looking
Mark
