Macro Photography with Extension Tubes
Рет қаралды 739
Күн бұрынIn this video, I am going to be using a budget macro setup to showcase the kind of photos you can get with cheap gear. The camera I am using is my old Nikon d3400 which is worth around $300 nowadays. The lens I am using is a 18-55 kit lens which is worth around 50 to $100. My flash is a speedlight TT560 which I bought off Amazon for $40. My diffuser is something that I made myself out of cardboard, aluminum foil, a laminated sheet of paper, staples, and a shoestring. And the last piece of equipment that I have which this video will be covering is some extension tubes. This specific set I got off Amazon for $40.

You are right! I wasn't sure I wanted to buy a macro lens so I used my 50mm and bought some cheap extension tubes. When I saw my macro photos I was hooked. Later I bought a Laowa lens. You do a nice job explaining things.

Thanks! Your images are beautiful! I keep tubes in my bag along with a 1:1 macro lens. With the tubes I can get about 1.5:1 with a 50mm lens on my cropped sensor Nikon D3300. I have a collection of old but really sharp Minolta MD lenses, and with a glassless adapter I can use any of them on the Nikon camera with either the Minolta or Nikon tubes.

Further proof it's the person behind the lens that makes the difference, irrepsective of the gear. You have some great skills, really impressive - plus some of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen!

I appreciate it, means a lot. And yep that’s what I want people to realize because I get tons of questions about my gear and things like that

Hello and thanks for sharing your video. Let me ask you a question, do you use any recommended macro rail ?

What do you think of D3400 ‘s internal flash and a diffuser instead of an external flash.
@Xx7trey 4 ай бұрын
The internal flash is very weak compared to an external flash.

Its not the gear,it’s the photographer
