  1. I have a Canon Rebel T6 and a Rebel XTi. I have a tube extension kit and a few lenses that I've flipped backwards but I cannot get results quite like you. What lens or extensions could I get to begin to get results like yours. I am really fascinated with smaller spiders and praying mantis. I am getting into macros and I spend my evenings taking photos of tiny things around the house for practice. I made several diffusion filters for my flash. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give me.

  2. You are such a master at macro photography! Would you mind telling me what aperture do you usually use? I currently have a D700 and a set of extension tubes and a 28mm (with a reverse ring) but I notice I lose too much light when I have the reversed 28mm on the tubes… How do you deal with that, don't you find it difficult to focus right? Do you apply focus stacking with this technique out there on the field? 😱
    Thank you soooooo much for answering

  3. Absolutely beautiful captures . Well narrated, although I am hearing more than half the names for the first time. I personally use a clip on mobile lens. Haven't had hands on a DSLR. Would like to explore possibilities soon. This might be inspirational

  4. Damn, this is impressive stuff indeed, creativity and content always wins.
    No point in taking pictures of charts and graphs showing how accurate a lens is, because in the real world most things aren't flat and most people don't care.
    This is what people want to see
