"I stumbled upon a sampling of your Macro Magic course recently. I found your articulation to be very clear and your manner very open, friendly and easy going. I was so impressed that I ordered the course. I am a big fan of macro photography and this course not only helped me to understand settings much better, but it also got me excited to get out into my garden and start shooting."

Have you ever tried to get a close-up photo of a flower, but not been able to get it in focus?
That happened to me last year when I was looking after my best friend’s 5-year-old daughter, Emma.
It’s amazing how differently she sees the world… spotting the beauty in details that I walk past a hundred times a day.
Her obsession with flowers and bugs meant she was always trying to get a closer look. This is how I got started with macro photography.
But the first time we tried taking photos... we ran into a problem.

We couldn’t capture the magnificent details of the flowers, because although I had a great camera and lens… it was no good at macro photography.
After a bit of research, I discovered there was a $9 accessory I could use to turn my lenses into macro lenses, so we gave it a try...
The results were so exciting, and Emma loved the photos so much, I’ve been her “favourite uncle” ever since!
I want to share our tips with you…

I thought I already knew which areas of photography interested me…
However, I found a niche that changed the way I look at the world.
I move through life so fast, that stopping to smell the roses (literally) is something I rarely do.
But with macro photography, I relax, take notice of the beauty around me, and capture it with my camera.
I almost feel bad, but the reactions I get for my macro photography have been overwhelming.
If people knew how easy it can be, they might not be so generous with their praise.
“Macro Magic” is an online video course on the art of macro photography.
It shows you how to capture stunning details, with basic gear, from the comfort of your home.
All you need is a $9 accessory to turn your lens into a macro lens.
And to prove that the camera doesn’t matter either, you’ll see me shooting with the cheapest DSLR camera I could find.
This course shares my process for using cheap gear to capture professional shots.
Pictures like this…
Filmed both in a studio and the local flower garden, we show you how to work with both artificial and natural light.
Even if you struggled in school… or aren’t the greatest at grasping new skills… you’re going to be shocked by how easy it feels to absorb this information.
Some of the skills you’re going to gain include:
The exact settings I used to capture great macros
How to use cheap alternatives to expensive macro lenses
Why most macro photos are just close-ups... and how to avoid this common mistake
How to capture more colour and texture with our grunge backgrounds
The do’s and don’ts of aperture and focus
Quick ways to find interesting subjects to shoot
The only lighting setups you’ll ever need and how to make them easy to use
And much, much more…
If there was a cheap and fun way to master macro photography, 10x better than you can imagine now… and all you need is a simple guide and a few hours of your time…
…would you be interested?
What if you could capture pictures so amazing, your friends assume they’re admiring a professional’s work?
There’s one important thing you need to know before you get started… close-up photography is not macro photography.
Some zoom lenses make promises about macro photography which are simply untrue.
Most lenses will get you ‘close-up’, but to shoot true macro photography, you have to shoot objects at life-size…
That means they’re the same size (or larger) on your camera’s sensor as they are in real life. That’s real macro photography.
You can buy specialised lenses for this… but you don’t have to.
Because there’s a fun, cheap, and easy way to take stunning macro photos like this…
One of the most common misconceptions about macro photography is the need for a bunch of fancy gear.
Following my tips and tricks, you can turn almost any lens into a macro lens with one of these three low-cost accessories...
A reverse mounting macro ring ($8)
Macro extension tubes ($9)
Snap-on macro magnifier ($60)
Sure, you'll get great results with macro lens too, but if you don’t want to make the investment, you don’t have to. I get the largest magnifications when I use the accessories above.
With some basic gear and a little know-how, it can all be so simple…
Don’t believe me? Take a look at the photos below:
The first image is the setup. I used a cheap camera, a broken lens, and an $8 reverse mounting ring.
The second image is the finished photo, which only took a couple of minutes to compose, focus, and shoot.
Life is better when we appreciate the little things.
And macro photography is all about spotting the beauty in details… whether that’s a flower in your garden or rust on a railing…
Picture this.
In the comfort of your home, you quickly turn your lens into a macro lens with a $9 accessory.
Without even moving from the spot you’re sitting in, you start to notice interesting details... like water drops on glass.
You bring up your camera and start to shoot without a single worry about lighting, settings, or focus...
After a small amount of experimentation, you’re able to capture striking photos.
Less than a minute later, you’ve captured a series of photos so detailed and interesting... you won’t stop shooting until your batteries are dead.
15 minutes later you’re experimenting with different subjects and colours to make your photos more captivating.
When you’re done, you have a selection of the most impressive… awe-inspiring… and interesting photographs you’ve ever taken.
It sounds far-fetched, but…
I’ve developed dozens of ways to shoot interesting macros in any situation.
I use simple setups, with basic gear, to produce stunning results…
Here, see for yourself with the free sample below:

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your guide on cheap ways on turning any lens into a macro lens. I bought a set of macro extension tubes and have been experimenting with them with my 50mm prime lens and the results have been amazing. I have a real appetite for doing more Macro work now as these results blew me away compared to close-ups.
I've been a fan of your website and short videos for a while now, and I just splurged and purchased Macro Magic, and I LOVE it! I love how practical the information is. And your walk-through of different equipment is fabulous! I love that you breakdown focal length and how it changes with the reverse lens mount and the extension tubes. Recreating the camera not being able to focus was an excellent illustration. And now I know how to think through a solution when it happens to me. I've purchased other online courses, but yours is the best I've found!

Macro photography is a new genre for me and I appreciated Josh's tips on inexpensive solutions such as the extension tubes. I quickly ordered them and have been practicing macro shots in my garden. Manual focus is one of my biggest challenges, especially with the macro magnification. I expect with more field experience, it will become easier for me. All in all, this is a great course. Josh provides a comprehensive introduction to macro photography that I am sure I will continue to revisit as I develop my skills further.
Thank you so much! Your teaching makes learning easy. Photography is my new hobby and I especially love macro photography so this course is great. I actually wore out 2 batteries! I have a Sony a7ii and just recently invested in a 90mm macro lens. I’m getting my tube extenders tomorrow….can’t wait!

There are many online photo courses one can purchase and so many are a disappointment. But the subjects you cover and the examples you give were just what I was looking for. I would highly recommend this Macro Magic course to anyone looking to expand the use of their photographing skills. There is a whole other world out there waiting to be captured in photos, if we only look close enough.

We don’t fuss about gear.
Although professional macro photographers rely on expensive lenses and fancy lighting to get great shots… there’s a ton of shortcuts amateurs can take to get the same results.
That’s why we cover the different lens modifiers that will change your current camera setup into a macro photographer’s dream.
The only other things we recommend you have is a tripod and a shutter release for steady-shots.
One thing you’ll soon discover is that to take macro photos, you have to get super close. And when you get close, your depth of field shrinks to fractions of an inch.
That’s why it’s important to know which exposure settings to use to keep as much of your scene in focus as possible… and how things like the crop factor will change your magnification.
This section shows you how I captured all of the images you see on this page. I experimented with a bunch of ideas, and walk you through each shot.
Everything from water drop refractions and washing up liquid, to flowers and butterflies…
Macro photography is all about having fun and capturing interesting pictures, and when you play with lighting, that’s where even more magic happens…
Macro photography is easy, but when you’re getting started, it can be hard to find inspiration.
And although the course is easy to follow, there are some accessories I recommend you use.
That’s why I sat down with my designer last week to come up with a printable checklist for you to follow.
It covers props, bugs, accessories, and even lighting… Everything you need to get a fast start with macro photography.
Great macro photography uses colour and texture to stand out. Although the focus will never be on the background, you have to ensure it’s in harmony with what you’re shooting.
That’s why our designer worked hard to put these grunge backgrounds together.
Use them to add a splash of colour and texture to your photographs, and complement the subject you’re shooting.
Included are 12 different backgrounds that you can print at home to make your macro photography stand out.
When you get super close to a subject… your depth of field becomes very shallow too.
This is a great creative look, but sometimes you want to capture more detail than your lens will allow.
That’s where focus stacking comes in. You take a series of photos focused at different points, then use a Photoshop tool to automatically merge them together.
It’s easy to do if you follow the right process, which we outline in this bonus video.

But hurry! Only the first 500 copies are discounted!
Save an amazing $624.00 before the countdown ends.
As you can tell, this is a very low price. But as I said, there is a catch.
When you get your copy, can you email me your feedback on it? A single sentence would be helpful.
And that’s it. Pretty easy “catch”, right?
I want to get as much feedback as possible before I open this course to the public in a couple of months’ time.
For that reason, we only plan to offer this deal for the next 500 customers to get the customer feedback we need.
You’ll be able to call yourself a macro photographer…
You’ll impress your loved ones with the stunning and abstract images you’re sharing.
Your confidence will have grown. And you’ll realize how the creative skills you’ve gained can help with other forms of photography too.
In short: You’ll be a better, more exciting and more excited photographer.
But only when you choose to act.
You see, some might choose to do nothing. They won’t “do nothing” on purpose, it’s usually procrastination. They bookmark a page like this and think they’ll come back to it later.
Three months pass and they find themselves in the same position they were before. Taking pictures that are not up to their full potential. Feeling the creative urge but unable to turn what they “see” into real pictures like this:
I wouldn’t be where I am today, sharing magical macros with my friends and family if I hadn’t chosen to act.
But you have the chance to do things differently. Macro Magic is your path to become a much better, more fulfilled photographer.
You are free to say no, and stick to your own techniques… but why not see if this is the creative kick that’s going to transform your photography?
The choice is yours.
Yours Truly,
Josh Dunlop

P.S. – You’re getting everything you need to capture magical macros. AND you’re getting bonus ‘Grunge Backgrounds’ and ‘Focus Stacking in Photoshop’ for FREE. But remember – 500 is the magic number.
