Take beautiful macro photos with flash lighting and Canon R6 mark II (tutorial with settings)

In this week's video tutorial I take the new Canon R6 Mark II camera on a relaxing macro photography walk, looking for ideas to use with my flash lighting. I show the shots I find, as well as the setup and settings I use on my camera and the flash settings I use to capture great-looking images. These tips and tricks should help you take better macro images whether you're a beginner looking for easy macro tricks or a more experienced photographer wanting to improve your macro photography.

I also swapped out my usual Canon RF 100mm macro lens for the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 macro lens, which I really enjoyed shooting with.

Note that this is NOT a review of the Canon R6 Mark II. I'm simply using it as an opportunity to test the camera and I thought it might be interesting for those of you maybe considering the R6II to see some example photos from it and how I'd go about using a camera like this out in the field. If you're looking for a YouTube review of its features, specs and comparisons, this isn't the video for you.
