1. Macro is based
2. Anything lower than f/16 is useless, anything over f/8 causes diffraction (we don't care)
3. Get a flash of some kind if you're doing handheld macro, get a softbox if your lighting is too harsh (it is)
4. 1x magnification can be overkill. Nobody cares if you hit 1x or greater, if it's framed like shit
5. 200mm for bugs, 100mm for all-purpose, lower focal lengths are memes
6. Extension tubes are cheap enough to dabble. Stick them on something between 50-200mm and go to town
7. Gear posts are allowed but keep it on topic
8. Any macro is encouraged. Bugs, plants, textures, minis etc. all welcome

any anon's do pet photography? I'm just starting to shift into it from doing wildlife and I'm struggling with learning how to work with artificial light and smaller spaces, I invested in a speedlight which has been a huge boon.

What is a reasonable amount for an amateur hobbyist photographer to spend on film annually?

Today I wanted to share the work of a free man, I present to you, Alex Burke
Never really interacted with the guy when he still used to post here so I shall simply copy paste his own description of himself

I hope we can all do a Burke some time in the future and leave this place to live off our hobbies
