Flower photography is enjoyed by many people all over the world. Do a Google Images search for flowers and you will come up with millions of samples. In my video I go over timing, lenses, depth of field, focus points, focus modes and some composition tips for capturing great macro and flower photographs.
Good stuff
Thank you for your tips. What about using flash?
Maybe you could comment on my experiments with my macro… thank you.

Thanks for the tips!
Hi pal. Great video. I'm just getting started into this style of photography.Came over from street photography.. Nice to see the enthusiasm. Kind regards from Valencia Spain.
Thanks for sharing, Gregory! Lots of great information in a matter of minutes!
You should check out Laowa Lenses. 15mm wide macro and 60mm 2:1 macro. Fantastic lenses.
Hi Gregory, do you have a better recommendation now for close up flower photography? You mentioned the 60mm 2.8 AF micro. Wondering if you have a newer choice now 6 years later? And Thank You for this Video!!
Amazing thank you
It helps a lot to understand the flower photography 📸
Good one!
Very nice video, i love nature and macro photography.

I'd not thought about continues focus.. brilliant point.. great video
Keep it never give up and u really are a good photographer thanks for the help do more videos thank you
Excellent as ever Greg thanks
thank you for the tips..they were a great help.
When I took photos of some flowers, I done it right at the perfect time. When I came back, they were dying and sad looking.
thanks a lot, Greg, very helpful specifically the tip on continuous focus. just 1 thing: in the heart of the flower, that is the so called 'pistil' 🙂
Thank you! Greg…,
A bit late watching this video but yeah that 60mm is a great lens! Love it! I call it my "trusty sixty" as it never fails to let me down.
If photograph competition about flower what technique i should use …position and background
Good video man
Loved your video. I will definitely check your other videos. I received an AF-S Micro Nikkor 85mm 1:3.5G ED as a gift. What do you think of this lens? Thanks 😊
Could you please suggest Which Camera & Lens do you have for Flowers photography
thank you Gregory
awesome video! 😊
ok, you mentioned that a good lens is a 60mm. how about a 50mm 1.8 Nikkor lens? Would that also work well for flowers? thanks! great tutorial, Greg!
Awesome tips bro. Thanks alot, very straight forward and to the point with plenty of detail.
Great contribution to photography, thanks a lot!
Thank you for making this video it was very helpful! You make beautiful photographs 🙂

Great video! You gave in 8 minutes a bunch of helpful tips that other photographers cant even think of in a 1 hour video! Many thanks!
I personally prefer Canon.

good video
Hello Sir! Thank you for this great and excellent tutorial of flower photography! Much appreciated! Wishing you all the very Best always! /Greetings from spring-time-Sweden! /Charl
Thank you Greg! The video is very instructive… You have managed to maintain the Basics with their practicalities…
I wish that I could have seen this video before purchasing my new TOKINA Macro 100/2.8. However, your Micro NIKKOR lens specs are fairly identical to that of the my TOKINA.
Excellent Video!
Cheers!
Nice one, Subscribed. Please keep'em comin…
Great vid! What kind of flowers are at 3:20?
Thank you Gregory Cazillo.
Great video Greg, keep them rolling bud!
thank u so much that all i can say

a ru
Thank you !!
I always shoot in AF-S with lowest f/# because i've been told to keep it as low as possible… i always go zoomed in max ( 55m ) because i use kitlens with raynox 250 dcr macro converter…
and it gives me f/5.3 and i want more in focus
So u shoot in AF-C? do you have a video that explains that setting? would love to see and use it
What camera are u using? Great vid btw.
Hello, thanks for the tips! I wanted to know what your advice would be to take a flower picture with a white background? I am having trouble with focusing on the whole flower, basically I can get a great focus on the flower itself but not the stem or leaf(s). I am taking pics for my watercolor painting reference.
