Re: [efloraofindia:113526] Tree ID- tall tree behind my apartment
*The tree also looks like Hura crepitans*, the sand box tree. The tree looks exactly similar to Ficus religiosa as the the leaves are almost look alike of Ficus religiosa. But the distinguishing features are the stems, flowers and fruits . The bole has spine like structures. Please check the stem and report whether you have big spines and also watch for the flowers and fruits.

Re: [efloraofindia:113535] Seeking tips for macro photography
You have shared the same problem as I had when I purchased the same macro lens. Initially I also thought that life is easy for macro photography with this lens. It is not fully true. 1) Small Aperture(2.8 or 3.2 etc.) will keep only a part of the large flower like anther in focus while the flower becomes blur. 2) If the aperture setting is high say 15 or more all parts of the flower will be in focus including some surroundings but to get adequate light the shutter will remain open for a longer time and one can't keep the hand steady for that long and the end result is burred pictured if the camera is hand held. To prevent this you need to use the flash(Accepting some of its limitations) OR If light is bright and good say a sunny bright morning and actual sun rays not falling on flowers. You can get good depth accepting Aperture of 5.6 or 4.5 getting a reasonable shutter speed to prevent hand shake(and flower shake due to wind) This macro lens is a telephoto lens and one has to go away from the object to get it into the field of vision. I hope I have shared what I do with same lens as you are using. Tripod is not practical in most field visits though it may be ideal.
