What aperture setting to use for macro photography
Just because your dedicated lens can shoot in F2.8 doesn’t mean that’s the best Aperture for macro photography. More often than not, using an Aperture of F2.8 on a dedicated macro lens, will result in only the eye being in focus.
Take this image of a tiny grasshopper for example. It was photographed with the cameras Aperture set at F/11. The higher the F number, the more in focus. Good light or flash is also required when photographing at higher F stop numbers.

I am new to macro photography, but I have lean to shoot at F8 or F11. Using a tripod, shutter release, and manual focusing gives me decent results.
