Adorama TV presents You keep shooting with Brian Peter's in Well, I'm sure this scenario has happened to you a time or two you leave the house You decide you're gonna travel light you take your one lens in this case a telephoto wide because you're going down to the flower parks Okay, and you're gonna take pictures of flowers. It's a great lens choice. I would commend that highly However, then you get down there and you get up to that flower You want to take a picture of so bad and you find out what my lens won't focus as close as I needed to I should about the macro Hi, I'm Brian Peterson and you're watching Adorama TV I'm here in beautiful New York City can across the little flower bed here Want to take a nice picture of a simple day lowly, but I can't do it. I got too much lens I can't focus as close as I'd like to focus so what's the solution with about 105 macro, but remember I want to travel light So Fortunately, a couple years ago, I picked up one of these one of these is I can and 500D close-up filter what it does Optically it fits right in front of my 7300 nightcore and Now I can do exactly what I would normally do with 105 millimeter macro, but without the extra weight I can now This day lowly close up. Let's take a look at that first photograph that I could not shoot and as you can clearly see It's out of focus now with the Canon 500D I get in really close and Take that picture that I've always dreamed of taking because of the Canon 500D close-up filter It's an inexpensive way to leave the house with your telephoto and with a macro lens You have to back this it just fits on front of that Telephoto lens acting like a macro lens does meaning you can focus much much close Something to do inexpensive shirts about 150 bucks depending upon the filter size Compare that to a thousand dollar macro.
