In this macro photography tutorial I share some of my tips, tricks and ideas for finding and taking better macro images, from using lighting to help my close up subjects stand out, to using easy hand-held manual focus stacking to get a sharp image. I show how I changed my usual tactics, studying one small area to help me find more images and how being patient let me get more from my photography.
My focus stacking techniques here involved setting my lens to manual focus, switching my Canon R5 to burst mode and firing away while either moving the camera forwards slightly or turning the focus wheel on my 100mm macro lens. Then, I simply pieced them together in Helicon Focus to get the shot I wanted.
I used the Zhiyun Fiveray V60 light stick for some of my images, although I lost some of my footage of it in use so I expect I'll talk more about this macro lighting solution in a later video.
