Natural Light Macro Photography

Shooting sunlit macro…

…poses a whole new set of challenges - especially for those of us who rely on flash for most of our outdoor macro work.

This is the final section of the Natural Light series. In the first video, we discussed the luminance of sunlight and came to grips with the workings of a camera’s sensor and dynamic range. In the second we looked at the color and directionality of natural light. In this video, we turn out attention to the special case of photographing tiny subjects using natural light.

The video is packed with practical tips and tricks for making the most of natural light in macro photography.
