Macro on the go in San Francisco

A short video about doing macrophotography when on a family holiday, and with minimal gear. I filmed the video in the San Francisco Botanical Garden and show what I used to get some macrophotos without bringing a lot of specialized gear
The video was filmed entirely with a Samsung S10 smartphone and the Filmic Pro app

Dommage pas beaucoup de bébêtes en cette saison :)

[@rivieramacro5240]

Non même en Californie ! Mais en cherchant un peu on trouvait des insectes. Mais très peu de temps surtout ! Il y aura plus au printemps à la prochaine visite

Great video, thank you, very creative solutions! Can you please share name/link of
the magnifying lens? Thank you.

Thank you Vincenzo ! The closeup lens is a RAYNOX DCR-250. The DCR-150 is also often used. Both superb optical quality. I will add links in the comments

What material is your diffusing medium made from please?

[@rivieramacro5240]

Hi Matt, for this "travel diffuser" I use thin translucent propylene sheets sourced from a local Arts&Crafts store. I then spray-glue several layers of thin packing foam, the kind found in DIY / hardware stores (I think 0.5mm thickness). 2-3 layers are enough to get good diffusion. When time perrmist I'll do a video on the fabrication of this diffuser
