Budget Macro Photography Ideas

#microfourthirds  #macrophotography #panasoniclumix

I really enjoy shooting macro photography (or should that be close-up photography?), however, I haven't tried using my new micro four thirds camera to do it... and I can't justify the cost of a new m43 macro lens.

In this video, I explore a couple of budget macro photography ideas for me to 'test the water' with using the micro four thirds system for my macro photography.  These ideas include using a set of inexpensive extension tubes to increase the magnification of my Olympus 12-45 Pro lens simply by moving the optics further away from the body of my GH5 II.  

The second idea is a bit more creative....
