| here are 2 pics that illustrate where im coming from. both are unprocessed taken on basic settings
the first is from the nikon 4500 in macro mode
the 2nd is from the rebel 18-55 in macro mode - it isnt bad but not sharp enough for my liking, especially when cropped in an attempt to make it look more macro than it is
the 3rd is one of my better macro shots with the nikon, this is the quality I'd like to be able to duplicate with the rebel |
