In this week's macro photography tutorial I show how I use flash lighting and camera settings to create macro images outdoors. I explain why the Macro V1 might be the best all-round flash for macro photographers and why I find it so great as part of my whole lighting setup.
I show the compositions I look for, how I use both my 100mm and 35mm macro lenses to create different looks and how I use focus stacking and a wide aperture to get a sharp image with a shallow depth of field.
