How to better focus with a macro lens

Anyone who’s purchased a dedicated macro lens, will understand what I’m talking about when I mention ‘the lens swimming’, if set on auto focus. This is especially true when photographing moving bugs and insects. One of the best ways to overcome this is to turn off your lens automatic focus, placing it in manual mode instead. It’s really not as hard as it sounds to focus manually, it just takes a little practice.  Personally I support the DSLR, with my left hand underneath the camera, moving the focus ring with my fingers.
