My Simple Fly Photography Setup

[nfrechette]

Norm, how do you get the coolpix camera to focus on the fly? Mine wants to focus on the backdrop. I get a picture of the texture of the woven cloth I've draped over a box with the fly very out of focus in the foreground.

here are my camera settings



1. aperture mode
2. zoom lever



1. aperture mode
2. flash turned off
3. macro turned on
4. f-stop i use

i will position the camera close to the subject, zoom in with the zoom lever, depress to shutter button 1/2 down to focus the camera on the subject and then depress it to take the photo

note: after taking the photo, the sd card is inserted into the card reader on my computer. i then open a photo editing software program to edit the photo by cropping and resizing the photo to a smaller size suitble for forum viewing
