Stopping down makes for longer shutter speeds and a tripod does not help because you think there is no wind but the air moves. And what you get in effect are casual grab shots of flowers. Great for showing your friends on a small uploaded file; but not that much good beyond that. If your comparing your flower shots against the flower shots you see in the flower shot books. Which may not be your intention. Mark William Rabiner
