Hello,
I've got a quick question about macro photography as I'm a little confused:
From what I've read, it seems like it's best to use a small aperture of f/16 or f/22 for optimum sharpness. But what about achieving a shallow depth of field with a wide aperture to separate the point of focus from the background? Isn't that part of the beauty of macro photography?
Is there a way to achieve a shallow depth of field whilst still achieving sharpness of an entire insect/flower, etc?
Thanks
