I haven't had the chance to go shooting specifically so here's another photo I took a couple months ago.

Canon 450D, 55/250 Canon lens at 250mm, F/8 1/25th and ISO200.

I'll see if this weekend I get the chance to shoot some critter in the country side for my third entry picture.

Hi monkfish, nice pic. Did you use a tripod or hand-held?

Hi monkfish, nice pic. Did you use a tripod or hand-held?

Hi katana, the shot was hand held as these critters move fast.

To shoot I would follow them then as soon as they stooped snap.

Used a Nikor 105mm VR lens with image stabilizer which helped.

Also a flash from behind to light em up.

Out of 100 shots 5 were usable the rest i just deleted.

[katana]

Yeah, I recently got a macro lens but not had too much luck with hand-held shots - too much camera shake.

Still learning how to get the best out of it. Time to read the manual methinks...

If your not already try using a flash of some kind, ring flash is usually best for macro shots

although i don't have one myself

Failing that also try increasing your iso settings (this will shorten the shutter speed) try iso 800 or even higher may be 3200 depending on how shaky you are.
