Easy macro photography

View Comments

For those that want to try out macro photography but don’t have a dedicated lens, here’s a great tip to enable you to try it out with lens you probably already own:

Having tack sharp photos is even more important in macro photography because it’s much more obvious when something is in focus.  This means that both the subject and the camera have to remain completely still.   So if the trick shown in the video is something you want to pursue more seriously, but still want to save coin on buying a dedicated macro lens, you should really invest in the “reverse adapter” that is mentioned in the video.

Here’s a link to B&H Photo where you can find the perfect reverse adapter for your needs:
