This is an excellent tutorial. I hope you do other tutorials that similarly describe your camera settings during different picture taking scenarios.

Inspiration creates motivation. Great tips for macro shooters. Generally it's good to see how other photographers approach fairly mundane tasks. Appreciate all the work that goes into your weekly offerings.

[MDMiller]

Thank you for those starting points. It'll save me a little bit of time.

[BaronVonBiffo]

I learn more from your videos than from those of any other photographer on Youtube. Many thanks.

With focus peaking, I like to set the film simulation to black and white. Focus peaking will then show as brightly colored areas on an otherwise B&W screen making them easier to see. Any saved jpg's will be B&W, but RAW images will still be full color.

The best tutorial for my beginning to macro. An 36mm extension on my Nikon 50mm
Your settings on camera and flash, and I was able to get great shots. Dziękuję Ci

Thank you Micael for your new video, especially for flash settings info. You do great work, you are my greatest inspiration!

[celestialdrums]

Great! Very practical and useful tips especially for begginers like me. Thanks for sharing

[slvance]

Thank you Micael - the Liveview setting were my issue on my Nikon Z6ii - for those who need it go to menu - controls - D9 - apply setting to liveview (on or off). Just remember to turn them back on if not doing macro! I just kept getting blown out images because I was adjusting my settings based on what I was seeing. Now it's perfect.

Your advice and information, are so important to me. It helps me so much. Once again, a great and informative video. Thanks Micael.

Bro. It works really well on my fuji. I watched tons of tutorial but this one answers all my question. Thank you!

[lindabell]

I am learning from your videos so thank you for that. I am frustrated though because I have a Olympus e510 camera from when they first came out. I never did anything with it really. I recently got it out of the closet. Then began looking at videos where I discovered macro photography. Your pics are great! The reason I got my camera out of the closet is because I bought a telescope so I could take pics of the moon and stars. I couldn't get it to hold focus. I did get some ok pics of the moon, but wildlife pics just didn't work so I sent telescope back. I got a 70x300 lens for my camera. I haven't used it yet, because I am watching several videos to see what to do. I am fascinated with macro pics. I want to learn to do that. Thanks for sharing your videos. They make me want to go out and really try.

My new Laowa 65 mm 2.8 lens, for my Fuji camera arrived today. Not had much time to try it yet, but the few shots I have managed to take, I have been blown away with.
If the first few shots are anything to go by, I’m going to have some great fun with this lens. I’ve already changed some of my settings, so will give them a try.
Only got into macro last year, after watching some of your videos, but already I’m having so much fun with it. Thanks for all your help. Micael.
