Amami Superman Photography

These photos were taken the same day as the fish festival last month. I've been doing, or at least trying, a lot of close up shots. My 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is pretty easy to focus manually for close ups, but I'm still having trouble focusing manually with my 55-200mm f/4.0-5.6 for close ups like today's photos. I was looking a them 1:1 and the focus is a bit off. I've also been turning off vibration reduction to see if there's a big difference when using a full zoom, but I haven't noticed anything yet. I think I just suck at focusing. :P
