Are you supposed to take macro pics with the lens like RIGHT next to the plants? I never did... I always zoomed in a bit and did the rest on the computer.
......actually it does not look that different at all. xD
This failed tip brought to you by: Me! *thumbs up*
Edit: They are cropped at the same spot, I just said that sometimes if you make it smaller, it makes it look better cuz some of the bad details become slightly less visible... it failed in this example. >_>
The proper way to take macro shots is to of course put it in macro mode, then zoom all the way out(on some nikons, it's a little different). It sounds like maybe you're stepping back and zooming all the way in. I looked at the specs. On your camera you need to be at least 5cm away from the plant, or roughly 2 inches. Any closer and it can't focus.
I'm been practicing with the software to enhance the pics. I think I have it down pretty good. One flaw with this camera is that when you use the flash on close up shots the huge lens gets in the way and casts a shadow on half of the pic.
I guess that's why you spend $300 on the detachable flash. :-(
Get a piece of white or silver poster board and try bouncing the light off of that to fill in the shadow. The camera should be doing through the lens metering for the flash and should compensate.
