In this week's video I give my best tips and tricks for how I use an old Canon camera to take great-looking macro photographs out in the wild. I explain why small, cheap cameras like this can be great for macro photography and that getting great quality out of your camera is mostly down to how you use it.
I also show how I use LED lighting to create dramatic light and shadow, along with the camera settings I use to take my best macro images.
