How to shoot EXTREME MACRO the EASIEST way (No Focusing Rail | No Macro Lens | No Microscope)

Whenever I post an image above 2:1 magnification people ask me how I do it. I have made this video to answer that question. This is my method for getting extreme close ups with out breaking the bank.

I find it relatively easy to do. If you have any questions just ask me : )

I often get requests for links to the exact gear I am using so here is a list of everything I used:

For the Photo:

To find a coupling ring search for “macro coupling ring” and “male to male filter adapter macro”

For filming:

As a photo enthusiast who has never done macro photography I found your video both inspiring and practical. Thank you for creating a clear and helpful guide that's free of fluff. Subscribed.

This video is a piece of art! Your images, the way it is shot, music, your narration is simply amazing!

It shows again how a lot can be accomplished, together with ingenuity, at a minimum cost. Brilliant ! Looking forward to witnessing your creativity. Kind regards.

Absolutely fantastic video from start to finish. The cinematography, music, voice, it's all AMAZING!

I especially liked when you slowly ran the focus of your video camera from the stinger to the face.

Bravo!!! You've earned a sub!

Great demo - I enjoyed your ingenuity as much as I enjoyed the final photo! I haven't seen this method before so I definitely learned something, thanks 👍

Saw this video first - now I have seen all your video's and it left me inspired to print my photos and I bought new camera gear to excel in my macro photography :D

Keep the video's coming and keep up the great editing. The calmness vibe is great, and I found it very relatable, what you said in your first video - just go out and do it instead of overthinking it. Easier said than done, but you did it and I enjoy them and are looking forward to next one.

Most inspiring photo video I’ve seen in a while. Now I want to look for so many dead bugs! Thanks for uploading this and making it so easy to understand! :)

This macro solution is totally new to me and you explained it all so calm and just great!
Perfect video, no commercial style no unnecessary words.
Thank you, subbed of course! 👍👍👍

I'm working night shift right now, and I started to get sleepy watching this. So calming. Otherwise, it is an excellent tutorial. Never imagined it was as easy as this.

I just learned more about photography than I have in the last 50+ years since I had my first Kodak instamatic as a child and later took photography as a subject in high school.
Now, with your channel, I
have the resource to learn enough to make it worthwhile buying the camera gear I've wanted for decades, but knew I couldn't justify the expenditure on due to ignorance.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Thank you, sir.
Eli.

Fantastic, simple breakdown. Macro is something I've wanted to tinker with, but have had no clue how it's done properly until now. Thank you.
