[@philiprobinson5140]

Thank you for the great hints, will be trying out soon, weather permitting.

[@AndyHPhotography]

I’m glad you found it useful Philip. Feel free to let me know how you get on

[@edwinaaitken401]

Great tips, must get out to put into practice….thank you

[@AndyHPhotography]

I’m glad you found it useful Edwina. Feel free to let me know how you get on

[@mattleccese]

Great lens and comp tips and images Andy. If the viewer unpacks this vid carefully they’ll see there’s about 3 videos worth of info (from other KZbin photographers) packed into this. Great video 👍🏻

[@AndyHPhotography]

Massive thanks for your kind words Matt. That’s the most gardening I’ve done in ages 😂

[@fbekker1838]

Good video. Thanks

[@AndyHPhotography]

Many thanks for your feedback and kind words

A telephoto with an extension tube works well too. I use an old Yashica 135mm f2.8 on a Sony a7R with a 10mm or 16 mm ext tube. The lens, along with the adaptor and some cheap ext tubes is a lot cheaper than a f2.8 macro too 🙂

[@AndyHPhotography]

That is an awesome solution. I keep thinking of getting extension tubes but am unsure of their performance on an apsc sensor. Definitely one for me to try in the not too distant future

[@RichardCookphotography]

Great video Andy. As always a very clear and concise explanation of what you are doing. Some great shots too. Well done👍

[@AndyHPhotography]

Massive thanks Richard. I watched your latest video too (but I can't add comments via the TV). Great video and your points were spot on. I would say just keep being you and do your thing. For me this is what's important 😊

[@RichardCookphotography]

@@AndyHPhotography Thanks very much Andy. And I would say the same to you too. Authenticity is important and your videos are always easy to understand and follow but yet with great examples. Keep it up👍👍

[@cliveturner6702]

Hi Andy. A really interesting video with great tips for someone like myself who's just getting into macro photography. Some wonderful images, keep up the good work 👍

[@AndyHPhotography]

Massive thanks Clive to your kind words 🙏😊 Macro can open up a whole new world

[@Sheree27]

I agree. I am interested in getting into Macro and I can't wait to experiment with composition with both lenses.

[@AndyHPhotography]

@@Sheree27 hopefully the video helped a bit. I should be doing another macro one but I’m not too sure when just yet

[@B_a_c_k]

ОО!! Это мой любимый жанр! У меня тоже есть макро объектив. Жаль, что я теперь не могу как раньше выбираться на природу.

[@AndyHPhotography]

It is a great form of photography. I love the details you can get with macro, but also love the composition techniques that a telephoto offers. It is a pity you can’t get out into nature at the moment

[@B_a_c_k]

@@AndyHPhotography да, недавно обстреляли и я не выхожу без необходимости.

[@AndyHPhotography]

@@B_a_c_k Stay safe

[@philiprobinson5140]

Morning Andy. Are you using the sigma 105mm 1:2:8 DG Macro HSM with the Ef to R mount Adapter on your R7??

[@AndyHPhotography]

Hi Philip, that is my setup exactly 👍

[@philiprobinson5140]

​@@AndyHPhotography Thank you.

My bridge camera lets me to take macro photos from 1cm in wide angle and focusing distance is 3m at max zoom. But both are not enough for small inects like jumping spiders... Can I get more magnification with 58mm macro lens attachment? Or those macro lenses are just close-up filters?

[@AndyHPhotography]

The advantage of a 'true' macro lens is perspective. Being close may distort the subject so anywhere the higher the lens 'length' the better. Most macros are in the 100, 105mm range to give a narrow and more accurate perspective. I'm not sure about a 58mm macro attachment as I'm not fully familiar with bridge cameras. Does it have interchangeable lenses?
