Probably be reviewing the Sony 90mm f2.8mm, next I normally shoot butterflies and Dragonflies but it was a great video introducing macro thanks

Hello again Victoria, great video. Having moved to Somerset from Kent I now do not know where to find my favourite flowers. I do know the location of green veined near me but missed them due to lockdown, very frustrating!

Hi Victoria You must live down south as the Orchids in Cumbria are not seen just yet, out of the 3 Orchids, I do prefer the Bee one, great stuff, Regards welshman 2081

Hi, Victoria! Nice video! I certainly like it. But wasn't your lens/UV filter rather dirty? (5.36) Because it seems it wasn't raining.

[@fatihindefteri]

Nice shots and amazing video... Thanks! May be I missed, could you please inform us a bit aperture value, shutter speed, focussing method?

[@ThePhotographerAcademy]

Sorry we can’t answer this question for you at this time

[@teddyabraham3289]

Nice video

[@PaulChapmanUK]

Hi Victoria - is that the Canon 100mm f/2.8 lens that you are using? I am after a good macro lens for my Canon APS-C camera body and am looking at what is available (will be mainly for flower photography).

[@iunderw2]

no shes using a Sigma 180mm f2.8 lens

[@PaulChapmanUK]

@@iunderw2 thanks Ian.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

Where is this? Completely different from my territory.

[@naturephotographyexplore3672]

Nice

[@seanaidan4577]

The number of times you said “actually” and lack of tech info put me off watching any more

[@kristianvrum8979]

Just to point out the obvious: this video is about photographing orchids in the wild, with natural light. If you need tech info on how to do that, I'll recommend that you watch a couple of tech-videos first, and come back here afterwards.
