My 8 Essential Macro Photography Tips for Nature Photographers

#macro #naturephotography #flowerphotography #capturewithconfidence
In this video I illustrate my 8 essential macro tips for nature photographers with the aim of providing a guide to making beautiful macro images to be rightly proud of. In doing so I have brought together some of my favourite macro photographs to provide a source of inspiration and illustrate the 8 tips I am providing. Macro photography needn't be something to be afraid of but something to embrace, because we have so much to photograph at our fingertips. The morning that I made this film was a really beautiful clear crisp spring morning with lots of bird song and it was nice to be able to step away from all the world's troubles, if only for a brief time.

Hello Simon and may I say thank you so much for this video.
Sorry this may be a bit of a rant, but a very nice one!
I usually watch quite a few YouTube photographer channels as well as yours and enjoy different things from each but I always find yours so calming and relaxed whilst still being very informative.
Not looking for sympathy or anything now, just want to give you a bit of perspective.
I'm currently in hospital 24 days and counting! Getting over COVID and Pneumonia.
Anyway, I haven't really felt like watching all the usual channels but knowing what you do with your videos I have watched and truly enjoyed every moment of this today and I just wanted you to know that it has helped me through my day, so thank you from the top of my heart.
I really hope one day to be able to do one of your work shops.
Many many thanks and all the best :)
Jeff
