Out the door from first light to after the street lights... yep! What a better way to grow up.

Great inspiration, thank you. Lots of options you've given us.

Thanks for this Mike. Nicely done and good suggestions. I needed this. Great shots too.

Thank you for the motivation, lovely photos!

Thanks Mike, a lot of great ideas to try out.

Just what I needed Mike, an infusion of creativity. Thank you!

Is your macro club site down? I have been trying to access it to check it out.

Hi, just come across this vid, about your rail, have you tried using two rails combined in a cross orientation, then you camera, this would give extrem fine tuning of positioning, especially if combined with a geared central column. One the geared central column height adjustable for vertical alignment, two the rails would give left/right traversing again for horizontal alignment, then of course second rail for front to back focusing adjustments. I feel if you have not tried this style/method of positioning that once you have tried it, you will forever use it from that point on. Hope you do get the opportunity to try it out, it's a real boon for such close proximity work.

Just beautiful. Stay safe.

Excellent -- take care

Mike you mention your camera is a 7500. Is that a nikon D7500? Thanks for the advice on finding contrasts. I will pay more attention to this on my macro nature walks.

Thanks for the ideas Mike. Nice photos. I have the Tamron 18-400mm also and am doing macro of mainly flowers and plants. Do you have videos with your camera settings showing on each image?

That is really cool

Very interesting

Excelent share, new friend here. Hello from Virginia USA

Awesome video

Fun abstracts when you obviously turn the sharpening way up.

That first leaf photo is especially awesome. Thank you for the inspiration! New macro shooter, new follower.

Awesome shots, thank you!

I have to keep going back. These are beauts. Cheers Mike.

Abstract winter macro season, love it - thanks for sharing some inspiration to get out and keep shooting Mike!

Love these! Hopefully we get a little snow so I can try this. thanks

Nice!

Thanks for this Mike. Have a great winter. And we going into our summer . 🌈

I try and create an artistic photo, mainly by using quirky lenses, my latest quirky lens is the Domiplan 50mm, but my fav is the Pentacon 50mm fi.8.

Mr. Parello has the same thoughts as us who view your work. Very tempted to try out the new Tamron 90 macro. Cheers Mike.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I find myself taking images that I will transform into photo art via Topaz Studio 2.

Are there any medicinal or nutritional value to Bladder Campion?

Absolutely wonderful....

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

I absolutely love this style

Always a pleasure to see your work Mike. Stay safe.

Hey Mike. I appreciate you overview of this backpack. Im thinking about getting this. How has it held up for you?

One of the most common mistakes among photographers is that they want to shoot or show the thing they shoot and not a composition of shapes, lines and contrasts. You clearly are not making that mistake Mike. Which is why i subscribed. Thanks.

Love this lens. Great IQ for a 15mm and the macro is just a sweet bonus. Getting 1:1 is a challenge. It will focus on stuff touching the front element lol

Hey Mike, thanks for sharing this review! Any experience traveling on flights with this backpack so far?

Beautiful photographs 👏👏👏👏👏

I have never used f/32! but I loved how you created a style that's very dreamlike.

Beautiful flower images! Thank u for your video,much appreciated Mike!

These compositions are wonderful!

Great eye as always.Cheers Mike.

Yes sir

Once again a great video. You are so lucky not to have to deal with a breeze or wind. As soon as i step out the door to take macro photographs of flowers, a breeze or the wind follows me.

I am macro beginner, I saw many tutorials and I love so much your soft art macro style. It's rare on KZbin. I'm going to try today ! Thank you.

Beautiful shots Mike.

Your photos almost look like paintings or vintage postcards. Beautiful.

Oh my Mike, what a lovely place to be shooting flowers. I live in the Phoenix area, where today in July 2024 it's 114. At this time of year flowers come from the grocery store. Your images are beautiful!

September looked blooming cold and damp. Good photographs, thank you.
