Entry-Level Macro (on the kitchen table)

Greetings everyone!

If you have always wanted to give macro photography a try but didn’t know where to start (and didn’t want to shell out a bunch of cash for a fancy lens), this video is for you!

I have had several YouTube followers ask me to do a detailed step by step guide to getting started with bare-bones macro shooting. This is that guide. I have designed the setup to take advantage of gear you almost certainly have on a shelf somewhere. If you need to buy anything, it will be a macro reverse mount ring (about $4 on eBay) or a set of basic extension tubes (under $10 on eBay).

This simple setup will let you take some really high quality, high magnification images on your kitchen table. For real!

Just one example of how this setup works

Here’s the video… I hope you enjoy it!
