If you look at the second right leg on this little dude (her right that is) you will notice there is a yellow halo surrounding the leg just below the knee. Ditto her third left.
Is this just slow speed blur? If so I would expect it to affect other parts of the photo such as the blade of seaweed in the top right. The body is in focus in an annoyingly soft fuzzy sort of way.
I was using an add on macro lens (on my SP350/PT30) - is there some sort of refraction that could cause this halo? Could condensation blur things out this way?
I was getting slammed by swell big time at the time - however the weed isn't moving. The photo was shot at 1/100 at 4.5 (hence the stuffed DOF).
Any thoughts? -This colour halo has occured in a few of my shots: where bright colors are in front of a dark background.
Any other tips to make my macro look crisp will be appreciated...
Cheers,
Rohan.
