Macro in the Forest: Top Tips for Lighting and Focus Stacking Your Best Photos

From easy lighting tips and tricks to hand-held focus stacking for sharp macro photos, this week's photography tutorial goes over everything I do to take beautiful macro photos out in the forest. I also talk about macro composition, the aperture and shutter settings I use when focus stacking and how I blend LED lights with the natural light to emphasise my subjects.

I also enjoy wandering the forest, enjoying the peaceful, calming nature scenes and discuss why slowing down and enjoying your environment is the best part of macro photography.

Finally, I show how I use different macro lenses and macro extension tubes to gives wide angle or close up effects on my macro subjects.

I really hope you enjoy this video, it's one of my favourites I have ever done.
