Thank you, I grow a lot of flowers, and over the last couple of years, I have started taking pictures, so, I am somewhat of a novice. I have not gotten into the deep technology of macro, so, I am more of a close-up shooter. I know the basics; I shoot either in manual or aperture; I use a D7100, with a Sigma 105mm macro or a Sigma 70mm macro. I shoot mostly in natural light either handheld or tripod. I also shoot insects, it comes with shooting flowers; I do not stage any of my shoots, they are always in the natural environment. I appreciate the work of Mark Berkery here is his site - https://beingmark.com/
