Macro photography is more than just photographing objects or animals up-close and with high magnification. While it can still be considered a niche, there is an incredible richness to both techniques/approaches and the selection of subjects. This also means, there is no single best approach, there is no limitation when it comes...
Being a macro photographer I have always felt very positively about lens manufacturers, that are both innovative and also produce dedicated lenses for this very special niche market called macro photography.

Immer näher ran, auf der Suche nach mehr Details, mehr Texturen, mehr Entdeckungen - Makrofotografie hat echtes Suchtpotenzial und kann ein Fenster sein in eine ansonsten oftmals verborgene Welt. Teures Equipment bedeutet dabei auch oft mehr optische Qualität, aber braucht es ein teures High-End-Setup um tolle Makrofotos zu machen? Definitiv nicht! Die Mischung...

One of my favorite seasons for photographing wildlife and macro in particular is summer. If the Summer Lens Sale Cashback wasn´t for you, then maybe the parallel Holiday Cashback is: you can save a massive 400 Euros on the powerhouse and current flagship camera OM-1 Mark II. The OM-1 Mark II is...
