Here is a macro shot I took of some pills? How could I improve my macro shooting abilities? I am using a Nikon D7200 and an el-cheapo macro lens. I need budget ideas on how to improve my macro shots. Please critic my photo for me so I can improve my skills with my camera. I hate to use Photoshop and would rather get the picture.

I want from my camera, so I don't have to manipulate the image on my computer unless It is absolutely necessary to use Photoshop to make the picture look good.

Short answer: light.
Light your subjects like the surface of the sun, preferably with a flash and reflectors/diffusers. But you will also need some always on light source so you can see what you are doing and focus prior to using the flash.
Ring lights are good. Several cheap LED ring lights and a transformer can be useful, but are not ideal. Many companies that make always-on led ring lights try to make them look like they are strobes, they usually aren't.
An actual strobe type ring light with a 'modelling light' that can be turned on so you can see what you are doing prior to the shot, is ideal.

Focus stacking. Better macro lens.

Maybe better lighting (but it wasn't really bad in the first shot).

>>
>1200$ body

Oh /p/...

Just sell your current gear and get a basic dslr with a proper macro lens. Then maybe a teleconverter and make yourself a DIY ring led light.

The macro will give you a 1:1 ratio to start. The teleconverter will maximize the magnification as your focusing distance will remain but your focal llength will double.
Also you'll keep autofocus, metering and apperture control, and the loss in maximum apperture is negligible because you won't get wider than f/11.

Can't find the 10 yen, musta spent it.

Here is an old 500yen I have. Instead of a ridged work it has NIPPON and 500 printed on the side.

First macro shot with this lens, kinda shocked how thin the dof is at f8. It must be non-existent wide open. Might try again later at f22.

You see those color grain stuff? That is the micro structure of the metal itself, the grains have different orientations and they disperse light differently, hence the color grain. Fun stuff.

Generally any ~100mm macro is going to be very good quality unless there is a well-known dud, and they have to be because macro is fairly demanding of the optics, so stuff like a lack of field curvature are a given.
Just as important are lighting, a solid tripod, and optionally focus stacking... because even at f/11 your DoF is going to be extremely narrow, so rather than risking diffraction, just shift focus slightly and take a bunch of shots.
For anyone with a Canon camera, you can install the Magic Lantern firmware and it has a function that will automatically calculate and shoot a given number of shots, taking into account the DoF and stepping the focus automatically.
>>
>>3000773
>Tamron 90mm Macro
I will invest in a quality lens when I can afford to do so. Right now I'll wait since most of my pictures are not macro photos. I just love my macros better than the other photos, so I'll save up maybe watch some videos on how to properly shoot macro and then get the equipment that I need. I also need to get a better tripod to the one for my camera is shit, luckily I was able to rig a quality tripod I have for my video camera to work with my DSLR. Getting a separate tripod for my DSLR, and maybe a good wide angle lens for landscapes is also on my bucket list. Photo gear is super expensive, so I'll have to wait to get everything; I think I'll start investing in the macro lenses because I want to start doing food photography and my macro lens is the best lens I have for photographing plates of food.
>>
>>3000775
I'll give you that. When I shoot macro my battery drains in a night. When I shoot normal shots my battery last weeks on end but macro shots are just so awesome.
>>
>>3000776
There is an older screwdrive version of the same optics for the Tammy SP 90 AF, also there is the manual focus Adaptall 2 version with same optics even cheaper. You wouldn't do much autofocusing at 1:1 macro since it changes too much of the macro ratio, like you adjust 10mm of the focus plane and you are at 1:2 ratio already. You will want a two way macro rail too for your tripod.
>>
>>3000773
No problem.

>>3000776
> Right now I'll wait since most of my pictures are not macro photos.
Sure. There is even absolutely the possibility to do fairly well with some zoom and maybe prime lenses and a close-up filter lens (Marumi DHG / Raynox DCR, pick for your largest relevant lens and use cheap step-up adapter rings to put it on any other lenses), it'll give you more light to work with than an extension tube and often actually be a little sharper.

> Getting a separate tripod for my DSLR, and maybe a good wide angle lens for landscapes is also on my bucket list.
A good enough tripod can be ordered from China for ~$60 for an Alu or ~$100 for a Carbon fiber one. You'll still want a remote trigger to avoid the smaller vibrations though and maybe one of those $10-20 macro sliders for a bit easier working at macro distances.
>>
Get a small pedestal or table to sit your subject on. Anything to get it up to the same height of your lens. Bounce your on camera flash with foil to a reflector back on to your subject.

My photo is an example of the type of things I am trying to do with my macro lens. While not exactly a 1:1 extream close-up, it is easier for me to create photographs that look good enough for me to use as banners for my website. I cannot zoom in close enough to get the image I want with a regular lens; with a macro lens, it is easy to stage objects to create a beautiful looking banner. I followed some of your advice: I got a ring flash, I got an extender. I am going to have to wait on the new macro lens and the teleconverter--they cost too much for me to get right now.
>>
>>3000781
Thank you. This is advice that won't break my bank. :-)
>>

I already have the trigger. The cheap $10 tripod I got off e-bay came with a trigger. It was worth it because of the trigger. :-) The tripod works but I am worried it will tip over and break my camera.

I just got a foil reflector for my speed light flash off e-bay. Now I am not going to have to use house lights to light up my staging area. With the speed light, the foil reflector, and the ring light my new photos should look even better. I don't need a new lens yet since I can get my camera as close as I need to get it to my staging area and since the objects I state aren't moving. Once I want to photograph nature using a macro lens, I'll follow your advice and get the new lens and teleconverter.

The macro lens that I am currently using is also excellent for head shots for id cards and stuff like that.

Thanks, man. I guess I'll need to get a quality tripod to keep my camera steady.

You don't need a tripod, just do that thing like in call of duty where you snipe more steady by holding your breath.

Stop down hella hard, like f/13, and use a speedlite to light the subject. Almost all famous/good/whatev macro shots of bugs and plants and shit were all using artificial light. It's just not feasible to use natural light, and oftentimes its too soft, and there's no detail pop from hard light.

Sorry, to rephrase, there's less detail pop than USING hard light, like a speedlite (or sometimes direct sunshine)
