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 bokeh: [link] [link]

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

A professional camera and a good lens are ideal; however that doesn't mean that good macro photography can't be done with a cheap regular camera. I don't have a professional camera nor a macro lens and I think my macros aren't too bad 
I'm glad you find the tutorial handy

Nice tutorial. The result is stunning.
On a side note, The text is hard to read. I would say the contrast between the text color (white) and the background color (light pink) is not a good choice. Maybe darken the BG color or at least darken the drop shadow and tighten it up a bit. That would help.
Otherwise, Good Stuff!

I adjusted the contrast a bit, I hope it's better now

I don't know if "macro potion" was a typo or intentional, but either way, it's cute!

It could also work as a magnifier. People would spray it over a book and be able to read it without glasses
