Description Someone once asked me how I make my macro shots, since I had some extra free time (and I was bored to death) I thought it would be fun to make a macro tutorial.

These are some very basic things and I'm sure most of you'll find it rather tedious, but maybe it'll help someone who's just starting with macro

The deviation from the tutorial: [link]
The bokeh: [link] [link]

Other tutorials:


If this tutorial helped you feel free to post links to your macro shots, I'd love to see them


Thanks to =drop-asd and `znow-white for the DD

So pretty! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Where did you learn this stuff? They never teach it in school and definitely not in ANY photography classes I've taken! Also, a suggestion: don't say "there are other tutorials on deviantart," just link to your reversed lens one!

Thank you for your suggestion, but I wrote this tutorial before writing the reversed lens one, therefore I wasn't able to say check out my reverse lens tutorial. I'm glad you found them useful though
