Hello my brother, where should I learn how to photograph animals like this. This is really amazing

[brianhphotos]

Thank you.

There are links to a tutorial that I made a couple of years ago at the end of this post.

[dayat92]

I find it very difficult to understand tutorials like that. I prefer tutorials like videos

[brianhphotos]

If you have a look at my tutorials you with see links to videos that I made. For example in 'Part 6 Processing the stack' is this video here

Hope you find it useful.

You're welcome brother

I have learned in this video that you gave. It's not very impossible for me to make because I don't have a PC

Excellent images and tutorials (and videos). This is a discipline I have never tried, pretty much because its something I couldn't get my brain round how it worked. You have helped de-mystify the process for me. Thank you

[brianhphotos]

Thank you and thanks for taking some time to look at my tutorials. I'm pleased they were of some value to you.
