Macro Lighting Experiment: Natural vs Artificial

Video Description

In this video, I explore the use of both natural and artificial light in forest macro photography. Using a Nikon D850, a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 lens, and Adaptalux macro lights, I spend time with found scenes in the forest, experimenting with light, atmosphere, and storytelling. What lighting techniques do you enjoy using in your macro work? Share your thoughts in the comments!
