Oncidium Orcid
I don't know the species but it's common in my woods. I used "scene" mode and "macro" for the photo. My impression is that "macro" produces a very shallow depth of field.

Pitter,
I like the separation and the orcids are a bit soft on my monitor.

Re: Oncidium Orcid
I agree (and I meant to post this on the flowers thread...oops). I used a tripod and autofocus on the 24mm 1.8 lens. I had hoped I could use the combo to replace my much heavier Canon 50D with 100 macro and 580 flash but I'm thinking not.

Re: Oncidium Orcid
You don't mention what kind of aperture you have used, but usually you want to shoot with relatively small aperture (f/10 - f/16) when working with macro images. This will give you a better depth of field. The flower itself is nice, but could use a bit more pop - you could also try vivid mode (or what it is called).

Re: Oncidium Orcid
Thanks Toni. As I said I was using the camera's "macro scene mode" to see what it would do with the 24mm 1.8 lens. With my Canon setup with which I can use a fully adjustable flash unit I close the lens way down for macro shots like that, just as you suggest.
