Combined with the AK diffuser and i have been pleasantly surprised by my Pictures! Thanks for all the very specific tips! John Earl Kneisler

I love learning more about Macro photography. In your begining. Sony this. Sony that. Oh I use the Sony this and that. Macro photography. I am happy you get great results from youi camera. But it is you. The camera is a tool. My photo buddy uses the Tamron 90 F 2.8 Macro lens. I prefer the Nikon 105 f 2.8 macro lens. I am not in the jungle. But I don't want them to make a meal out of me. Lots of lights out there and triggers. My friend Phil Thatch now uses Canon. A nice video.

Thank you @ColbyBrown and @B&H for this extremely informative an helpful series. In this video Colby Brown pointed to attach a simple headlamp as a focus assist to the AK diffuser. How exactly that can be done? Can the host please explain?

Hi Colby, been enjoying this series. Why didn't mention wireless flash? I still use Sony DSLRs aka DSLTs, A77M2 and A99M2. They both allow wireless flash when used with flashes such as HVL-F60M or using HVL-F20M on camera to trigger the HVL-F60M instead of wireless flash. Also, do you ever use infrared focus assist?

[@thomastuorto9929]

What about the Godox macro light set up that mounts to the end of the lens. You don't favor a set-up like that one when shooting single Handley? PS: wish Sony would add the focus shift feature as in for, focus stacking. If you have any pull with them.

[@mywildlifestories3793]

What flash power we need to use?

[@gerhardwiesinger]

Nice, did you use TTL (which flash compensation?) or manual flash? Both flashes with same power or different power in different groups?

[@RogerDeakins349]

*_Mark my words! One day I'll become world's greatest photographer. And people will bow down to me.😇✊_*

[@kuscollama9522]

JFYI, they are called "herpetologists" not "herpologists"... Nice photos and good tips!

[@markrigg6623]

You said "dynamic range" when I think you meant "depth of field".
