Thanks! Great video 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks, much appreciated 😀

I often use the "servo" focus setting on my Canon camera as this helps with a moving subject. The subject might not be moving but if you are swaying then there is some movement involved.

[@keithguppy]

Servo is a great one to use, this is more a fail safe method when your focus just hunts and you miss the shot.

Excited for this series, Keith. As a macro noob, this is much appreciated. That’s a great focusing tip!

[@keithguppy]

Thanks Keith :-)

Greetings Keith, once again a nicely presented video. I have always enjoyed creating macro images. Some work, and some do not. I think it's more the fun of trying to create something. You even got me to revisit the one mentioned in the video. I kind of miss the Macro Monday episodes. Being one who is also trying my hand at the subject I can understand why they are few.

[@keithguppy]

Thanks Jeffery, macro is fun to do, my problem with shooting it is it’s hard to film macro and take the photos, move around with the camera etc, and I think insects are the most interesting subjects.

Hi Keith hope you're well. Great video tutorial and advice, macro photography is something I've not done much even though I have a 105MM macro lens. Looking forward to watching this series of videos.
Best wishes stay safe Jon and Karen

Hi Jon, hope you are both well, it’s worth having a go at, it’s something you can do without leaving the house.

Hi Keith, Great video and great tip. I do enjoy macro photography and tend to use tripod. I definitely going to give this technique a try. Take care mate. Shawn.

[@keithguppy]

Hi Shawn, thanks for the comment, you should give it a go mate, once you get into it, you won’t stop , it’s quite addictive

[@markpiercephotography]

[@keithguppy]

Thanks Enrique 😀

[@keithguppy]

What tips or advice would you like to see on Macro Bytes?

[@lensmanonline]

Hi Keith hope you're well. Just a thought but what about a monthly video that people could follow along with, a bit like a hands on.
Best wishes stay safe Jon and Karen

[@keithguppy]

Thanks Jon. That’s a great idea, and I already know why my first one will be a bout 👍🏻

[@DanielPetre]

what the heck did you do to that beautiful lens ?!

[@keithguppy]

I was photographing something at home and dropped It, I was devastated when it hit the floor! Luckily it’s quiet robust and still works perfectly 🙂
