This is a revisit to one question that I am not sure we have ever really answered. Is this a skill worth pursuing - the pros and cons. Should be fun. Bring your best argument. I have a lot of other stuff to cover today - just saying.
Angi wants you to know that the winner of her ENCHANTED FLOWERS competition will turn in wrk that is 1) Emotionally Impactful, 2) Creative, 3) Well composed, 4) Technically excellent or breaks a few rules, 5) Good Technique, 6) Tells a story, 7) engages the viewer, 8) Unique, 9) has good lighting and atmosphere, and 10) an element of fun!.

If you would like to support my channel without spending any extra money, use this link to get to Amazon. When there, buy something like this very rail ([ Ссылка ]), but you can actually buy anything you want, like this book from Robert Thompson - [ Ссылка ] - because this is an affiliate link, and I may make a small fee from Amazon - All without you having to spend a penny extra. If enough of you actually do this, I will be able to give away a Novoflex Castel-Micro during a livestream in the future (the far, far distant future, true, but we live in hope)!
Don't forget to email me your LIVESTREAM suggestions to contact@allanwallsphotogrtaphy.com
I am occasionally asked about my own choice of gear, so...
When in the studio I use the Nikon D850 as my main camera - [ Ссылка ]
My primary video lens is a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom - [ Ссылка ]
My main focus stacking body is a Nikon D7500 - [ Ссылка ]
A Nikon D3400 is for emergencies - [ Ссылка ]
A Fujifilm XT-2, with a battery grip, is my main microscope camera but also does duty as a livestream back up camera - [ Ссылка ]
I use Adobe software for almost everything, because it is good and the support is fantastic. I am an outspoken fan of Zerene Stacker, and for anyone who thinks I must be a Zerene employee to speak of it in such glowing terms and to recommend it so unconditionally, I am not. It is just the only complete professional macro focus stacking software program on the market. It is in a class of its own.
That is just some of the stuff I use - if you have any questions about my macro gear, or my recording equipment, just ask.
All my audio, music and sound effects come from Epidemic Sound - I have been with them for about 3 years and they are pretty awesome - www.epidemicsound.com
Unless I state differently, all the photography you see on my channel, in my videos and on my website, was done by me. I tell you that so that you know I would never blame another photographer for my photographic mediocrity. But I love taking pictures, so I do.
