Portraits and macro? And why this subject has so few attention in the reviews? Hello everyone. For attention, there is one of my first ever shots, made in 2011 on a borrowed Canon 550d with default 50mm 1.8 that is small and cheap as fuck.

Why are my “macro” shots blurry ? Hello. I’m adding some of my “macro” shots. They’re made using a D5500 and a Sigma 105mm lense. I rarely use a tripod but the lense has a rather good stabilization. I’m also pretty stable, hand-wise. I don’t think the blur comes from shacking. I tried using a smaller aperture, or a wider because I thought the blur may come from, simply, an out …
