1501_0311 Moss spore cap

            Control of background is perhaps the most difficult aspect of macro photography. Open up to a wider f-stop to reduce background clutter, and often you lose key parts of your subject; stop down small and the background can become messy. Here I decided my subject could be a single spore cap with its water drop. But I shot at several different apertures to make sure that I got it right...
