@catsmeowb@karengail@geeish1488 Thanks very much. When I take close ups I often have the Auto Focus set on single point but for some of the shots I took this time I used manual focus (although I don't know if this one was Auto or Manual). If I'm outside I use the continuous mode so that if there's a bit of breeze and what I'm trying to shoot is moving I take a few shots in quick succession. That means although some may be out of focus some are in focus too. Because I only have kit lenses I can't get really close macros but I crop right down to get as close a close up as possible. I don't know if this info helps at all but I always find it useful to find out how other people get their shots.
@nickspicsnz thanks for that info, I'm currently just on a point and shoot camera, it's quite good quality but have promised myself if I am still dedicated at this for 6 months I'm shouting myself a proper one.
