TIP 3 FIND THE STIGMA
The centre of your flower, or the stigma or stamens, should be your focal point if they’re visible. We placed a single active focus point on the centre of our flower and zoomed in using the Live View to make sure it was pin-sharp. Any tiny movement to the camera or wind blowing the flower can throw your focus off, so be sure to take the shot soon after you’ve focused to give yourself the best chance of getting a sharp image. We also used a tripod to help stabilize the camera and also switched off Image Stabilisation, which can create more blur when you’re shooting on a tripod. We also turned on the 2-sec Self-timer, so that the motion of pressing the shutter button didn’t introduce shake either.
