Now, I'm still here by my window, and I've still got daylight coming in through the window, but it's not enough to really get a lot of light inside the flower. Before we set all this us up, we grab the little clip of what this flower looks like. Here it is. You can see that it's pretty deep. And, I want to zoom into that area way down inside there. I've got my 65 mm lens here. I've got it extended all the way to 5X, and I want to shoot at f/16. Because of 5X, my depth of field is so shallow.
