Great try man~
Good photo there

I think it has all the elements of a good macro shot, apart from the out-of-focus part as what silverfire sifu has mentioned

Its nice to have bokeh in both foregrounds and backgrounds (Not only for macro shots)  .
I think the trick to this photo (if you still want to frame it like this), is to know which area of the subject to be put in focus; in this case its the shell, rather than the snail's stalk eyes That's because the shell is much larger, imho its better to keep it in focus.

However, for other normal insects etc., usually people love to focus on the eyes~

Wow, the sifu really has spoken.   

When I start venturing into macro photography, I will sure come to you for more advice.

That's what I am thinking also, overlap a bit only mah. 

By the way, what's FF? Sorry still noob. 

Since you can't get the whole thing in focus, I'd rather you take it head on with the eyes/tentacles in focus and slowly bokeh out.

Very nice bro. But like Silverfire sifu said, if a bit in focus then better.

KLPF yesterday, candid shot :\

Please C&C... Still new into macro

Just change perspective can already

This photo isn't about what's in focus and what's not, perspective is important even in macro, try to get down to their level instead of photographing them from above.

Tralala~ Just like a pro! Mintak pencerahan dari segi equipment boleh, boss?

Equipment not important lah. Just how willing you are to get the shot only.

tanji can get amazing shots with just a 50mm 1.8G + extension tubes, so no excuse to rely on better equipment unless you got specific reasons lah   

Boss, extension tube is for what purpose ehh, boss?

You guys are really willing to splash the cash for lenses. Usually you all buy brand new ones or used ones?

Went to KLPF earlier today and managed to get a chance to test a few lenses and body. Tested Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 and its really good i must say. Solid build quality with awesome optical performance. Got to try Sigma 35mm F1.4 aswell and wow this really the racunsssss

So anyways here's a related pic



Taken with 35mm F2D tough and yes i know pic is noisy, old camera mah

eh? noneed big capital for basic macro la dude 

50mm 1.8D (RM200+ used)

Auto extension tubes (RM200+ also)

Extension tubes is used to move the lens further away from the camera body, increasing the native magnification of the lens.

Google if you want detailed photos and explaintion
