How I have more MACRO DOF …

As we know anything >1:1 macro, we have very limit DOF … I had it share before … what we DOF have while we shooting macro e.g. at crop body, F16 at 1:1 .. the dof we have is just ~1mm … so how we have more DOF ?

1. angle is important , if we want the main objects “focus”

e.g.

at certain angle, we have not possible to have both object focus .. e.g. choose one , shoot small to crop , or using stacking method I use (discuss before HERE)

by using the stacking … we can get both beetle focus as below

or discuss http://liewwkphoto.com/blog/?p=922

of if we do not want to do much on post process… choose the best angle to have both object focus e.g.

the Soldier – Termite is cute

not many love them or most of us hate them … they destroy, bite … etc … but when we look close there are cute

this is good of MACRO photography , let we look thing differently … not only photography but we should look every at different angle before conclude
