I love your video and most of the instruction throughout. In particular, the ending. This is where you addressed the macro world and surrounding environment. Tiny critters deserve to live in peace just as much as any human. Okay, let me get back to on that human part later. As I was attempting to say, I was taught photography by my grandpa (nearly 60 yrs in the biz, sshhh!), and he had one very important point. While it addresses, fashion, portrait, model, glamour, etc. it also serves well here. His point: If something's in your way, MOVE THE PHOTOGRAPHER, not the model or your props! Hope to see more.

I especially like the last comment about ethic and respecting environment...in so many other intros/tutorials/guides people say that spray bottle of water is essential, same for "clearing surrounding" with scissors, things which I never fully agreed...will the picture be more stunning, many times yes, but in the end it is most important to not harm the subject and its habitat. IMHO macro as well as any other kind of wildlife photographers should follow the rule of minimal to possibly no impact. Many times grass blades, small branches etc. can be gently bent out of frame with a little bit of effort and if they can't then one should change their own position, try different framing or angle...if that's not possible, well world will not end and there might be many more better occasions to take a shot in few minutes or next time...and if someone really need the droplets on the spiders, lizard or frog...get up earlier, the light will also be better ;)

I have sprayed geckos many a times for a better picture. I've done most my work in desserts and I can promise you, any lizard I have done it on has only been thankful to get some extra water. (Just make sure it isn't chlorinated). If a single straw of grass in the way, I can also promise you, moving your entire body to a new position (especially if you are laying flat, as you often need to) will only disturb the micro habitat more than just pulling out that one straw. Saying that you shouldn't touch the environment, put instead just move yourself and stop being lazy is all fine and dandy, but you also have to think for a bit and consider if it really makes sense.

Wow, you covered nearly everything I could think of! I had been wondering about ethics when I was watching, and wondered how much of an issue it was. I'm glad this is a thing people take seriously. Being able to highlight nature, but destroy a creatures habitat in the process, is not the kind of approach I wish to take. I am interested to know, you mentioned the downsides to extension tubes, but did you cover diopters (maybe I missed it)? I plan on using both, since I can't really afford good glass. I'd be interested to see some more content about low cost/no cost alternatives, like the cereal box setup you showed.

Thanks @Sawta 👍 Happy to hear that you found it helpful and share the same respect for tiny macro subjects. Regardless whether you're adding extension tubes or diopters, or both, to a non-macro, you'll not likely end up with a magnification anywhere near 1:1. Adding multiple extension tubes reduces light quite significantly and a diopter alone really doesn't change magnification all that much.

Thank you for stating that people should respect the environment and the creatures in it. So many people, -mostly without thinking- will do just that in order to capture that one photo. Great video, I learned a lot.

Thanks @Still Moments 👍 It's been fantastic hearing from so many other people who share a profound respect for tiny macro subjects 😃😃😃 However, it's also been surprising how many others have vocally disagreed and opposed my statement regarding respect.

Excuse me. Is "diffuse" pronounced "dai-fuse" or "dee-fuse"? Sincerely, A non-native speaker.

@Bao Doan my girlfriend made fun of me immediately upon hearing how I pronounced it. Though a few close friends pronounce it the same way ... it could be an East Coast versus West Coast ... Canada thing? It's pronounced properly as: dif·fuse

Here it became my favorite macro video because of soooo many good reasons. Environment, Music, Videos, Macro Pics, Points talked, and a humanity ending. Can't ask anything more from you buddy 🙂. I myself love macro photography as I believe it's the most underrated area to be shown out.

Neil, I’m just considering macro and found this video amazingly easy to understand. Hopefully you haven’t stopped making videos. Your teaching stile is succinct and informative. I shoot wildlife with a Canon R5, 100-500 zoom. I realize there is no 500mm F4 in my future! Macro is financially accessible and I’ve always loved close up photography. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, hope to see more! Totally agree on the ethics comments!

@KELLMAR915 your situation very similar to mine. Absolutely love every aspect of wildlife photography, but understand that my financial status prevents me from even dreaming of owning a big fancy white lens. Macro photography is significantly more affordable and so far, has been just as enjoyable 😃😃😃

I have started back in photography. I am waiting on my Sigma 70mm 2.8 Macro lens to arrive. This was maybe the most helpful video I have watched on photography in general as well as macro photography. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Thanks so much @Kenton Brown, very much appreciate the kind words 👍 As I just warned someone else, be warned that your first macro lens purchase can be a gateway to an addictive world - filled with ring lights, softboxes, focusing rails and even more lenses 😆😆 😆
