Information on Macro Photography.

This appears to have a lot of information about macro imaging, it was brought to my attention by the site owner who wrote the following to me -

Hello,
I hope you'll forgive me popping you a mail, but I was hoping for a small request. Your camera club site has links to useful sites for your members - please may I request for you to add a site there - extreme-macro.co.uk - which I have put together. This is not a commercial or advertising site for any personal gain in any sense, but a free extreme macro resource, with comprehensive articles on such things as focus stacking, doing macro on a budget, reverse lens macro, using objectives, different types of macro, what vintage (cheap) lenses work best, lighting techniques, etc etc.
If you will only spend a minute looking over it you'll see that the site really is a good, solid, information-rich site, with macro calculators, tutorials, downloads, user feedback and comments, ongoing equipment reviews and so on, worth bringing to the attention of your members. It was also a webby nominee in 2015. But, my marketing budget for this site is precisely zero, so I do rely on users spreading the word for me. If at all possible, a link from your club website would be tremendously appreciated - I believe that it would definitely be useful and appreciated by your members.
Thank you very much for your time,
-Johan J.Ingles-Le Nobel

The following was received from Jen Miller (11th Sept 2018)-

"We just published a piece that is even more detailed, updated and comprehensive on how to choose a camera. It is completely free and packed with practical tips based on our photographers' years of professional experience.

 I have been asked by Anna a young photographic student to put this link up. Useful for anyone interested in fashion photography.

Thank you Anna

a tutorial site with loads (and loads) of free tutorials covering Lightroom and Photoshop from as early as CS6 – seems the latest may be a couple of years old, but still viable.
