I love shooting macro photography. but what I’m having hard time doing is capturing a sharp, crisp in detail shot of just single small flower out of a clump of smaller flowers and with a crop of that single flower in the end. And when i do shoot it, i end up with a group shot where some areas are in focus and sharp. some areas are blown out from the flash used. and one area closest to the lens is out of focus and blurry (which i hate and drives me nuts) and one area is sharp and in focus. But when i go for the crop, it comes out barley sharp, but showing more noise, not any of that super sharpness or crispness a photo should have. What can i do to fix this? I’m using a Canon Powershot Sx50 HS.
There are some vintage lenses very cheap, as the vivitar 55 macro and it does 1 to 1, what do you think of those vintage macro ones?
Thanks Tony this was great advice 🙂
U need to use manual focus
extension tubes vs reverse lens adapters?! Go! (please)
Hi Tony….all your videos are very rich in information and details for the learners. I really love watching it. Thanks for the clip and looking forward to seeing many more.
y el close up, no lo probaste estupido……………
I can never tell if you look young or you look old lol. Like a vampire
Hello Tony,

I have a web site and sell small trout flies etc,so I need to take small picture x 1000s of them, so I cant take them to big as it will slow down web site.i have tried to take pictures of high quality with no joy, can you give me any advise here.ps if you have a quick look at web site you will see my pictures are not much good. Thanks john
I’m looking for a macro lens for canon 60d. Could you please suggest me a good one.
Whats a good macro lens for a rebel t6?
Great tutorial. Love it. By the way, what would you recommend for a Nikon D5500 lens use for both Portraiture and close up (macro) shoot? is there a lens that suit both scenario?
just wanna ask, do extension tubes create more bokeh when attached to the lens?since it appears to adjust the field of view of the shot.
tony for president
What’s the make and type of extension tube you used for this video …BTW I’m a huge fan your videos have been very helpful
What camera is that?
This was great to refresh my memory and teach me pointers regarding all aspects from lighting, to exposure, shutter speed, aperture and everything in between. I’m really starting to feel comfortable shooting again and my videos are coming out beautiful. This is a great guide for beginners and professionals. https://plus.google.com/b/117576921052578751760/117576921052578751760/posts/Fk3sfQJu8AY
As usual great tutorial!
Do you have a review/tests on the Sony 90mm 2.8f G Macro lens?
Hi Tony, I like following your videos, I find you explain very clearly. Can you give me some suggestions of what would be a good buying lens for my Nikon D5500 camera. I would like to start macro photography, am interested in doing close up of beers. Waiting your reply, thank you
Can you please suggest some reliable extension tubes?
the cheapest way is to zoom your lense
What would be the advantage/disadvantage of tube extenders versus the
reversed lens technique? Do you have a tutorial on reversing a lens for
macro photography?
Very good basic video…

What macro lens would you recommend for taking photos of flowers using the Sony A-6000? Thanks for your books & videos. I’ve found them very helpful…
Very very well narrated.
Thanks, excellent presentation and tips.
What computer software you are using to edit this picture ?
So I just obtained my BFA in Digital Film/Video Production. I also took some Photo classes (Photo Lighting, and Large Format). 2 Questions come to mind
1. Why auto focus? In film, we are instructed to use manual… AND LEARN IT (Iso, Shutter speed, Lighting, Aperture.
2. Why do photographers rely on “Post”?
To me, they are not true artist. In post (besides fixing a problem), they rely on “photoshoping”. Why? Simple…. You cant get what you want in real time. I hate that. Either your an artist and get it right the first time, or your a liar and have to “fix” it in post.
A real PHOTOGRAPHER shoots in RAW, and gets the true shot.
Who knew? I am now into macro. Seriously. Immediately drawn in.
Tony, does it make sense to use extensions with a macro lens? I bought both. lol For some reason, I am having trouble getting a clear shot filling the frame. I have a very good Macro Lens, A AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 mmm 1:2.8G ED. I’ll just keep practicing and studying, but I’m not happy with my results 🙁 Thanks for your tutorials!
What lens is best to use with the 20mm extension tube?
Hi Tony,
I haven’t got a very big budget is there any alternative way to do macro photography,
Thanks
All your tutorials are clear and concise. Not sure why you focused on the ring flash, other than it is less expensive, but the twin flash for macro that Canon makes is much nicer and less flat light. Have you used the twin? I think you’d like it better. You’re pretty unimpressed with the ring flash light it would seem. What I have not done is taking a portrait with the twin flash. They do come off the ring, so theoretically you could have 2 off camera flashes with independent controls for a close headshot. Macro portrait work, the wave of the future? Likely not so much, but if anyone would know I guess I’d ask you.
very well explained
*†hank.Q Sübscribed & Liked…!!!*
Great tutorial. Question. What would you recommend for a lens on Nikon D5500 good for both Portrait (people) and Macro shoot? Thanks.
Hi Tony can you please suggest which macro lens would be better value for money the new Tamron 90mm with vc or the previous lens with vc?
