Thank You for adding me. I'll try to get some on here. I'm still getting used to knowing how to get around on the sight. Regarding your pictures of the dragon, When you are doing closeups the best thing is to turn off auto focus and do it manually. That way you can focus on your main area you want. Also, you should try and use as small an aperture as you can, as this will keep your depth of field as deep as possible. Another reason is that when focusing up close your DOF will narrow considerably, which is the reason for using the smallest aperture. I have quite a few books on nature photography that you are welcome to borrow if you would like. Talk to you later. Jerry
