In this video, I walk through my process for capturing high-detail macro photographs, from camera setup and settings to focus stacking for maximum sharpness.
I break down how I approach magnification, lighting, and composition, and explain the exact camera settings I use to keep images clean, sharp, and consistent. You’ll also see how focus stacking helps overcome shallow depth of field and brings tiny subjects into full focus.
Whether you’re new to macro photography or refining your workflow, this video covers:
Macro camera and lens setup
Recommended camera settings
Lighting techniques for small subjects
Manual focus and focus stacking workflow
Tips for sharp, detailed macro images
Everything shown is part of a repeatable process designed to produce reliable, high-quality macro photos.
