My camera doesn't have mirror lock-up though. That darn D40 just isn't good enough I guess.

I do a much better job of manually focusing with the detail blown up in the LCD screen. When I switched over to the live view method I saw immediate improvement. I absolutely LOVE live view (with magnification) for macro work.<br /><br />Thanks Katie for introducing me to CreativeLIVE. I haven't missed one of their workshops since your "31 Days to Releasing Your Inner Artist" blog (day 20) that mentioned CreativeLIVE. I didn't find your series until you were about 3/4th done with it, but it was an awesome series to read through. :)<br /><br />Looking forward to tomorrow's blog entry.PhotosbyMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901499112514564716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113902182933280081.post-70963776088533958292012-04-16T16:19:21.261-05:002012-04-16T16:19:21.261-05:00That's a great question!

I've been playing around with the MUP button option while hand-holding my shots and have seen a visible improvement with it. Macro photography will get the biggest boost from the mirror lock-up method, but I would definitely use a tripod for that.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04571329756506708419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113902182933280081.post-63528229241758539142012-04-16T14:54:54.425-05:002012-04-16T14:54:54.425-05:00Nice explanation.

Is one required for this?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082536183912603694noreply@blogger.com
