The more pixels the camera has the better for cropping and obviously sharpness. I would though, try to experiment more with your camera's macro scene mode on a flower of something-try and get close to your subject either by using the zoom on your lens or leaning in with your camera while the camera's focus is locked on -in fact try both ways and see which gives the best result and just keep experimenting. At least with digital camera's you can ditch the bad photos and keep the sharper ones, unlike with analogue processing. I hope that helps, thanks for visiting and happy shooting:)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628856831321674533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509391264706575711.post-59930764673098770772011-09-24T23:25:53.210+01:002011-09-24T23:25:53.210+01:00Magnificent capture Jane!
