Sony NEX-5N with a used 100mm f/2.8 macro. Shooting manually

Thank you. I wish I could shoot f/22. There's no EXIF data since I used a legacy lens but they should be between f/8 or /11.

Well done.

I'd have cropped more of the right and bottom edges off the first pic. Large out of focus objects in the foreground, like the tentacle tip, can be distracting, but I do think your placement of the focal plane is where it ought to be.

I like the clam "nipple".

Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate your constructive criticism. It's hard to get lots of it in focus given how far the focal length is. This was shot at f/8 if I recall correctly. I could have gone to 11 but I don't know if my shutter would have been high enough. Will try again soon.

It's a rainbow BTA.

Are you using a tripod? I find a tripod allows me to use much longer shutterspeeds than I ever could handholding. It's not so useful with fast moving fish but with stationary corals it makes a huge difference for me in the range of apertures I can choose from to get the shot.

Yes, with coral macros, a tripod is a must. I still don't shoot anything below 1/50 using a tripod though. Having a shutter delay of 2 seconds helps as well.

Here are some more
