  • Most photos in this video were taken with the following lenses:
    - 150 mm: amzn.to/2L06SNh
    - 90 mm: amzn.to/2L9EyEY
    - 135 mm: amzn.to/2KZYLjS or amzn.to/2ukc3xf
    - unspecified: amzn.to/2N6TUL1 or • Minolta MC Rokkor 55mm...
    Most photos in the video were shot on this camera: amzn.to/2NJB7XA
    But the most recent photos I used my current workhorse for:
    amzn.to/2ulxqyq
    To make this video, I used this mic: amzn.to/2N4uCxj with this preamp: amzn.to/2KV9dt5 and this small video camera: amzn.to/2N5gIuW
    I get all my background music from this awesome service: bit.ly/mwepidemic

    This is an example of a GOOD photography video. Lots of examples of bad and good photographs. No self-promoting gibberish. Thank you.

      I am sorry, but you seem to enjoy the free content without any care for the creators. How about you keep enjoying it and stop complaining about self promotion? If people would support artists more, maybe it wouldn’t be necessary. Your favorite TH-camrs also need to eat

    Great tips, Michael. I would also suggest using a small diffuser if shade isn’t an option. You can use it to not only diffuse harsh light but to catch and direct the light onto the flower/subject.

    I always lower the exposure compensation to -1 or -2 so that the true color of the flower is photographed. The sun tends to bleach out the colors of a flower....
