If blurred backgrounds are often a priority when you’re out taking photographs, then this lens is definitely for you. The Canon 100mm macro lens made it easy to single out one orchid that is seen clearly in focus, yet blur any nearby background elements. On the other hand, the shallow depth of field can be a fantastic tool if your photographing things like flowers, where you may want to single out one from a bunch. This will ensure more of the image is in focus and create less blur in the background. Another way to handle the shallow depth of field is to increase the f stop, to say f/11 for example.The wings in that specific photo are not in focus, due to one being closer than the point of focus (body) and the other being further away in distance. If I had photographed this insect head on, the body would have been blurred, with only the head in focus. When taking the photograph, try and get as much of the subject within the exact same distance from the macro lens. For example, the image of the macro dragonfly above, is largely in focus due to both the body and head being the same distance from the lens.

Of course doing this, your final image will be much smaller than the original which may make it impossible to print in certain sizes.Instead, giving a more abstract view of the insect or flower, as shown in the photo below.
Many macro photographers have come to expect an image where the object isn’t totally in focus.
