lens is just my 18-55 IS kit lens, with raynox DCR250 macro attachment. focus is probably my camera shake to be honest - this is handheld and it was pretty cold so i fear my hands were shaking(!).
settings:
mode - Av
f13
1/80
ISO 1250 (auto)
auto white balance
i can't have it wide open with the raynox, or i'm left with a tiny DOF and can't get
anything in focus...! background is distracting, i agree, but i'm not sure what i can do with that after the fact - but i'll bear it in mind for the future
