I thought it might be fun and informative to share a few photos that I took in South Bank, Brisbane. The intention was to take some night photos, but as you will see in the video I came away with a bunch of bonus shots too - which was your favourite image?

It is NO WONDER why you have SO MANY subscribers (now including me) - your presentations are very clear, no nonsense, no unnecessary/loud/distracting music, very well scripted, with all props readily at hand! ALL creators of tutorials should follow your lead. I just want to be able to photograph the edges of kinives as they go through the stages of gthe sharpening process, and you've presented a clear, simple, inexpensive way to do that, with my camera's cousin. THANK YOU! PS - did you know that Canon now charges for customer service assistance? BOO!!!

@oscargonzalez8454 Год назад

What a clear and comprehensible explanation!!! It’s obvious all the effort and care you put on such detailed tutorials!!! Congrats!!!

@EZ-viewing. 2 года назад

You never fail to amaze me with your creativity, ingenuity and years of experience passed on so easily. Thanks again for a brilliant clip.

@paranormalinvestigationsin9370 2 года назад

Just looking back over the last 2 years, watching photo genius and how much i have learnt from a total beginner , clueless but willing to learn amature up untill now is amazing... thank you paul..

@SpainBoy2 2 года назад

Thank you Paul! Appreciate the practical run through. I just ordered some macro equipment and can't wait to try something like this out.

@LaurensHoengenaert 2 года назад

Another great video, Paul. Thank you for the clear explanations. You really manage to trigger people to go out and try new things. Would love to see a follow-up video on taking macro shots outdoors as I imagine wind can be a disturbing factor.

@dennisnicholds9047 2 года назад

Great video Paul. This is what I like about all your videos. Set out nice and simple and you show us step by step how to follow you in creating great shots. It's great to watch and learn from someone who likes to share his talent to both the experienced and novice (me).

@bernadinecabanas331 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial. Thank you

@martinbond2188 2 года назад

Just a thank you for all the help you have been for me over the last two years. I have watched all you RU-vid videos on Luminar, from 3 right up to Neo. I have learnt so much from you about editing photos. I had many thousands of photo taken on my many overseas trips, and hundred on our motor home trips around New Zealand, it has been great getting all these photos looking so much better. I had some underwater photos taken in the 1970's, using a Nikonos 3 camera, unbelievable, how using the skills you have taught me, how great these photos have come out. I ahave now bought a Nikon D3500 as an attenpt to take up photography as a hobby at the age of 76, pretty stupid aren't I. Once again, Thank you Martin Bond

After watching this video I purchased the recommended macro tubes for my canon rebel t7 and I love them and have been playing around with them and getting some good results!! I’m new to photography and find all of your videos very helpful and informative!!

@ianshaw5088 2 года назад

My extension tubes just arrived today. Can’t wait to try them. Some of my best shots as a beginner have come from tips in your videos.

@bradzaruba9686 2 года назад

This is perfect as I use the Canon t6i, a model older than the t7. I've had a lot of fun using extension tubes this past year and these tips will make for a more enjoyable experience. I've also learned that macro is like fine art and not for everyone's taste.

Awesome video and tutorial 👌 Brilliant tip on Marco 📸

@michaelladd3628 2 года назад

Your tutorials are excellent because you keep the information you are sharing simple and to the point. I love that you often use entry level equipment, creating sharp and dynamic photos. Every time I start to think about upgrading my camera I will come up with a crisp, sharp photo that takes me by surprise. It is then that I realize that I need to focus on how I created such a shot and understand fully the limitations and merits of the equipment I own. Looking forward to your next vlog. God bless.

I got the Canon Rebel T7 a few days ago for Christmas, and I can’t wait to start taking pictures and building up a portfolio. This is a hobby I’ve always wanted and had a camera back in 2018 for a while! Your videos are so informative and I’ve learned so much within just 3 days 😊

Hi Paul, I loved this...thank you! 🙏🏻 Also cool to see how you mounted the flower. 🙌🏻 It would be awesome if you could make a video where you take it outside. Greets from Sweden ☀️❄

@rnspowell 2 года назад

Thank you for this video it showed me ways to use my extension tubes that I never gave a thought. I've tried doing hand held when I 1st tried using my tubes and was that ever a waste of time. So these tips will come in handy. Thanks again, Paul.

@user-qu4yv3vi2d 6 месяцев назад

started using (and with my memory problems, remembering how to use) the zoom in to focus feature on both my Panasonic FZ45 and my Canon 80D after years of owning them and what a game changer it is. I'm using that feature every time I photograph something static on the tripod now and I pretty much use manual mode all the time now. I'm so glad I've got to that stage in my photography now after 30 years of doing it. Better late then never I guess. Great video. I've had the Kenko extension tubes for a while now, but not got round to using them, but I will. From what I understand, you can also stack a combination of 2 or all 3 for even more crazy macro shots. I've also just recently

@woodmouse68 2 года назад

Another great video! After your last video reg. extension tubes I bought a set of immaculate Kenko tubes for my Canon 2000D. They are just fabulous. I would love to see another video on using them outdoors

@pamelajarvis7728 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this informative video Paul. Just bought a Canon 2000D and want to do macro. So helpful to have the links to the equipment you use …can be a minefield buying gear and your detail in description of both equipment and use makes it so much easier. Can’t thank you enough! Look forward to watching more!!

@photogenius 2 года назад

Hi Edith, thanks for watching - I am certainly considering a follow up video featuring outdoor macro photography.

@dilus13 2 года назад

Well I have only ever tried macro photography handheld outdoors with a kit lens and no extension tube, I was blown away with the results with both flowers and insects in both sharpness and colour. If I can manage that as a relative beginner I must try indoors in perfect conditions and see what results I get, thanks for the tips in this Vlog Paul 👍

@dannythomas6194 2 года назад

@ojaswisanket194 2 года назад

Hi Paul. Great videos, I love them all! I'd like to see a video on the various storage options for photographers. Photos eventually take a up a lot of disk space and it's a challenge to manage and organize them all. What kind of storage is best? External hard drive? Cloud? Network storage? I'd be interested to see how you handle your photo and video storage. Thanks a lot!
