In the field I find it difficult to really get an idea of my shot looking at the small review screen. There often isnt a dark place to do on the spot corrections. What do you guys do to get your shots right without having to correct them with software?
here is an example:
Here is what I was hoping it was going to look closer to which is how it looks in nature.
Another issue is macro focus. When you guys are taking macro shots what is your focus secret? I really like 1:1 macro but when I try to use it I very seldome get a good focus. Do you usually take the shots further away so you get increased depth of focus then crop away all the extra?
Example: This shot looked good until I got zoomed up to full photo size then the eyes became fuzzy. A fart smeller ah hem I mean smart feller told me to get focused on the eyes, which I agree makes macros 100% better. The problem is depth of focus it seems like 1:1 only gives you about 1/4" of slop in your range. If I stand back 5 feet I get better DOF but I have to crop a lot.
