If you do get a decent macro lens, you will not regret it
Really cool results. Now I need to invest in a good macro lense.
I think I paid $49 for it about 10 years ago. It’s made by quanteray. Not professional by any means, but it has served me well.
Question: What was the cost of your tripod?
Nope, it doesn’t sound stupid. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Tripods are what you are looking for. You can find them in any camera store or any online store. Cost for tripods can be anywhere from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on the quality and your individual needs.
this might sound stupid im a little new but where can you buy stands for the camera???
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for the question yellowtexasrose1. This has come up a couple of times, so I will go ahead and answer even though you found your answer. When you press the “zoom” button, it is not to take a picture at that magnification. It is so that you can see the image up close in order to focus better. The actual pictures come out at the regular magnification.
Thanks, my question answered about the zoom regressing to original size when picture is snapped.
Question: new user of rebel t3i. I am trying to take close ups as you did in the video. When I set up my shot and zoom in, the picture actually comes out in the normal mode, not up close. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
OK, this is not my favorite thing to do, but I must admit I am wrong. There IS a way to shoot faster in Live View. In fact, I added a link to a new video I made explaining how to do this. There is a link in the video description. Basically, you change the way the Rebel focuses when actually in Live View. Watch the video to see how it is done.
Hahaha, indeed. That’s what I’ve been doing. I was ready to take it back at first.
You’re welcome, and I might add that once I figured out there was nothing wrong with the camera (that is, Live View is what it is) it was no longer a major issue for me. I started concentrating on the amazing things this camera COULD do. Enjoy the camera.
Dang that is a bummer.. Some times it doesn’t focus at all.
Thanks for the response.
Nope. Quick focus lenses will help, but they are not going to focus as fast as you expect. This is one of the issues I had a problem with when I first got my Rebel. Live View is great, but it does take a few seconds to focus. Even the T4i, while a bit faster, has the same problem. If you are wanting quick focus, you have to use the view finder instead of Live View.
Can you tell me if getting a different lens will fix the auto focus in Live View issue? I’m not at all content on the focus delay.
That is a question you will have to answer for yourself. No matter which camera you choose, Canon or Nikon, you will get excellent results. I use Canon, so that’s what I recommend.
is this camera is best for me or one of the best camera and better than nikon 5100 plz reply i cant speak english well
I ALWAYS use aperture priority when shooting macro. It gives the most control over how much of the shot is in focus. It’s important to have the background out of focus so it is not too distracting. Of course, there is a macro mode stop on the selection dial of most cameras. You can use that as well.
What shooting mode do you use for macro shots? Thanks.
I get all my equipment at either Amazon or B&H Photo. The Sigma 105 is listed for $799, but it is an upgraded lens from the one I have. Mine does not have optical stabilization or HSM (fast focus motor). You can still get my model for about $150 less, but why wouldn’t you want the better one? Especially the fast focus. OR.. get an older model Canon 100mm macro for $550. It has the fast focus motor – great lens.
About how much did you pay for the sigma105mm macro lens? And where di you get it?
There are two lenses used in this video. The first is a Tamron 28-75 – not a macro lens. Then I changed to a Sigma 105 macro lens to show the difference in how close you can get. You can see more about them at the canon eos lens site listed in the description.
Where did you get that lens? If you got it from offline, can you post the link?
a very good video, thanks
Are these modes needed even in manual mode,mr mark?
Thanks for the great information! Nice clear video. Like that is is to the point and not trying to sell things on your website every few minutes.
@kimvette…. I have the 7D and I was surprised that he said that it was slower. No way!!!! I know that he does favor Nikon’s…. I was wondering the exact same about the lying or that he doesn’t know the Canon 7D. I love his videos so I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I’m sure he did, but the 7D has two continuous drive modes! So when set on continuous high speed mode it shoots at 8fps, higher than the max 6fps on the Nikon D7000. Mark is great, but don’t mess with us Canon boys!! LOL
what do you think of the Canon 60D in general for non-professional use ?!
One of the bests tutors on youtube! More about Canon 600D!
hallo
I have a canon 600d and want to shoot music video clip.
At this point do not have much money to buy a good lens to have a good quality video.
What would be a good lens with good quality and cheap to make a video with good picture?
Canon Lens:
18,135
18 55
18,200
50mm 1.8
or ..?
If your camera can use viewfinder accessories (and almost all DSLRs can), you can purchase a diopter lens for the viewfinder. It goes between the viewfinder and the rubber eyepiece. They come in different strengths, like eyeglasses, for nearsighted or farsighted/presbyopic vision. If you don’t have a large camera store nearby so you can try them, an optician or optometrist can help you determine what strength you need.
i got a boner with the d3s shooting.. lol
The Canon 7D is actually faster, however the settings and ISO have to be there for it or perform. It soured as it is slower than the Rebel which is certainly not.
@Scrolex
As far as the white finish large L-series telephoto lenses goes: Canon has two reasons: one is white reflects heat, which keeps the lens cooler thereby maintaining lens group alignment even during extended shoots, and the second reason is marketing: even across a large stadium, arena, concert venue, or airfield, you KNOW a photographer is shooting Canon.
So now you know two very practical reasons Canon chose white for their large L-series telephoto lenses.
@scrolex
The 7D shoots at 8FPS (8.5 under ideal conditions) in high speed burst mode. He is either shooting in slow mode, or on a 5D (a portrait/landscape body). Mark is either biased and lying, or doesn’t know his product. In either case he ought to re-edit this video, adding in an introduction clarifying his egregious error.
“Notice this camera is a little slower, it’s going click, click, click, click”
Either he is lying and has it on slow burst mode, or doesn’t know the product he sells has two burst modes. The 7D is actually 33% faster than the D7000 in continuous shooting; the 7D has an 8fps burst mode (it’s actually 8.5 FPS under ideal conditions) and the D7000 does only 😉 6fps. He either set 7D to slow, or intentionally turned on high ISO NR, ALO, and HTP all which TFM warns slows burst mode.
stunt pig should have his own series on AdoramaTV 😀
if it was a 7D, he had it set to low-speed continuous. as a 7D user, i can confirm the shutter is considerably faster than what he shot at.
Mark is an awesome presenter, which makes a big difference in the watchability of a video. He’s to the point and doesn’t joke around too much and is an all-around likable guy. And this series of videos is PRICELESS! I’ve spent hours watching these videos and have learned many new things. Sometimes, even watching the basics can teach or refresh. Not talking about this video, but the models with the fake boobs were a bit too much. The kids in the Trick or Treat video were hilarious!
stunt pig looks creapy
On my T3i, I can not see the viewfinder, its so blurry and I have tried adjusting it back when I got it (May 2011) and again, my eyes are just not good. Does anyone know anything to help me?
that. is awesome
well done as usual Mark!
Lol Canon slow as my 90 year old grandma. And a white lens to add insult to injury. Silly canon lenses are black.
