Thanks for the comments Very Happy

The camera is a 350d with a Tamron macro, ive never altered the ISO on the camera and changed it from 200 to 100 and it really seemed to make a difference on the pics, still have a long way to go with the camera but im having fun learning it. Just taking pics of some of the inverts in the garden i can see why people keep them as pets, they make great photographic subjects. Very Happy

I always use manual ISO..as normally camera sets it way to high which results in grainy images "noise".. only downside to using low iso is that your shutter speeds will be much slower which will increase the risk of blurred images if you require a large depth of field.
