Macro in the Forest: Tips, Tricks, Ideas and Lighting Tutorial

In this week's video tutorial, I show the ideas, tips, tricks and settings I use for taking amazing but easy macro photos on location in the forest. I show how I use flash lighting to enhance my macro photography, how I use focus bracketing and focus stacking techniques to take sharp images. I also show how using wide angle lenses with macro extension tubes allows you to focus close up on your subject but maintain an awesome wide view that captures much more of your surroundings.
