Our Verdict
Macro Photography & Focus Stacking Made Easy provides beginners and intermediate photographers a thorough exploration of macro photography techniques through theory, real-life examples, affordable equipment suggestions, and even DIY options. However, its focus on dated camera systems may hinder modern users from optimally applying these concepts in practice. Moreover, limited post-processing guidance hinders overall cohesiveness. Nonetheless, with an experienced and well-awarded photographer at the helm, this course makes for a knowledgeable guide through the magnificent world of macro photography.

Potential Drawbacks
