Lovely pictures,but how do you get so close? Any details of your camera set up would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi Glynn,
ReplyDeleteI use a Canon 7D camera with a macro lens. My wife and I (she also does photography) have two of them, a 90mm Tamron lens and a 100mm Canon lens. A good macro lens or even a point and shoot with good macro will allow you to get very close to something.
