And he probably learned it from his predecessors. I quickly learned not fine tune with the focusing of my 50/3.5 Micro Nikkor when shooting bugs for Ortho Lawn & Garden books in late 70's. Kids, animals, bugs....it's all the same. Only with macro, instead of a step it's just a head bob! Sounds easier in theory than in practice, though. Difficulty relative to degree of movement. I learned to photograph insects when frozen....and kids when sleeping! Dave At 09:55 AM 11/17/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Eric, >i think Mark Rabiner give a this beautiful advice.
