Dont use a tripod - you dont need it if using flash and fast moving
subjects.
I can get perfectly sharp pics with a 200mm macro +close-up attachments hand held.

Use a DOF of at least f11 - f16 depending on available light
and adjust you iso to give you a good exposed background.
Thanks for those tips Marke – they are broadly the same as suggested by the BIMBO’s on our earlier macro outing.

Cheers

Dennis
