used aperture priority mode, set to something like f/11 (maybe f/8).
The most difficult part is not the exposure, it is getting the critters to sit still long enough. I believe Robert has found a solution to that, but that it is not widely accepted :)
Hard little critters to capture to be sure!!! Got two whole rolls thrown in the trash just last night. HeHeHe. Since you are so close to having all in focus..Could I ask, what shutter and aperture? Gee....I had what I thought was the perfect shots and blah cry crap! Robert McDonald keeps assuring me it's not that difficult. OK, well, on we go...I'll not give up. I won't!!!
