Follow the 7 simple beginner tips in this tutorial to have a good looking insect macro photograph – guaranteed!

Please remember that you can produce similar photos with the same sharpness and colors with virtually ANY mirrorless or DSLR camera, with ANY macro lens (all of them are sharp at f/8 anyway), and ANY on-camera flash. You DO NOT need to buy exactly the same stuff that I am using.

However, if you are curious, in this video I was using the following products:
Camera: https://amzn.to/2xM776q
Lens: http://bit.ly/mwlaowa60 (I always buy my Laowa lenses from here – fast free shipping worldwide)
Flash (mounted with an adapter to fit my Sony camera): https://amzn.to/2XMhHou
Camera strap: https://amzn.to/2XMi4iS
Grip extension: https://amzn.to/2xHKsrR
The diffuser is of the brand Dร–RR, and I bought it here: https://www.cyberphoto.se/foto-video/kameratillbehor/kamerablixttillbehor/mindre-bouncers/dorr-blixtdiffusor-for-inbyggd-blixt-pa-dslr-kamera
But there is a similar diffuser on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2LKnmKz

I filmed this video with my trusty action camera from Sony: https://amzn.to/2XGF2bf
I recorded the voiceover with this mic: https://amzn.to/2xMU2Kh
I get all my background music from this awesome service: http://bit.ly/mwepidemic
