Got some tubes today and had a quick play. Anyone got ideas to make shots as good as possible.
These were done handheld, that is of course a no no. Lighting? Rings?

For the sharpest macro shots, you definitely need a tripod and probably a focusing rail. If you have mirror lockup, use that too.
You lose a lot of DOF when the subject is that close, so stop down the aperture. Some macro lenses go as small as f/45 for this very reason.

I thought this one was pretty good though, this is very fine cotton quilting fabric, looks like open weave wool to me.

That is a real sharp dof. These shots remind me of the ones I took using a jewelers loupe.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O
