Could be the aperture. what do you have it set at?

 

[Thompson08]

I have it set to 1/200 f7

The lower that f number (your aperture) the smaller your focus area. It will focus nicely on everything in the area you focus it on, but everything farther out or closer to you will be a bit blurry. You don't want to go super high with the aperture ether. Just play with it some. Pick a T and shoot it at f7,11, 16, and everything in between then find what looks best to you.

You can see it in that last picture. Most of the T is in perfect focus, but at the tips of the legs at the bottom of the photo you can see where the focus starts to blur but it is a gradual blur nothing to severe. That is not really a bad thing imo. I like how that looks.

Thanks ryan I'm gonna get a few shots with diffrent f stops and apertures.

F stop = relative aperture. They are one in the same.

The 1/200 part you posted, that is your shutter speed. The higher the shutter speed the less light gathered for the image, the lower the shutter speed the more light gathered for the image.

 

[Thompson08]

Ok I think I want a lower shutter speed because I find that some of my pictures come out too dark, and a higher fstop so I can focus more on the spider.

 

[Talkenlate04]

I don't think you need to do much of anything based on that last image. Just a little tweeking.

 

[Thompson08]

ok, here is a pic I just took w/ editing at all.

1/200 f7

1/200 f7

That picture you posted was taken at 1/50, F22, not 1/200 F7.

 

[Thompson08]

That then, still it comes out looking extra sharpend anf fuzzy :|

 

[Talkenlate04]

A higher fstop does not equal better image. I liked your picture before this one better myself.
Just keep tinkering. You seem to be finding what looks good to you.
