Photography Tips And Ticks:

•  Remove the lens for macro:

instead of getting one of those fantcy/expensive micro lenses, you can just simply take off your lens and hold it infront of your camera!
but make sure that your camera is in manual mode and you will also lose autofocus so you have to move closer or further away from the object to achive the focus you wish.

• Creating your own light source:

materials you'll need:
box, ducktape, ruler, pencil, cutter, scissors white fabric and white or black poster (depending on what color your background want to be).

Steps:
1) Choose a box and Secure the bottom of the box with paching tape. Use more packing tape to secure the bottom flaps inside. This will keep them out of the way.

2) Lay the box on its side. Have the opening facing you and mark lines about 1 inch (2.5 cm) inside each edge of the box on each side and on the top.

3) Using the box cutter, carefully cut along the lines you drew.

4) Cut the front flaps off with a box cutter.

5) Cut a section of white fabric (white muslin fabric) or White Nylon and white fleece, large enough to fit over each of the openings you cut. Then tape it to the outside of the box using cellophane tape.

6) Use the box cutter and scissors to remove any stray pieces of cardboard from the front edge of the box.

7) Cut a piece of matte white poster board to fit the inside of your box.

8) Insert the poster board into the box, curving it up towards the top of the box.

9) Cut matte black poster board in sections large enough to cover the tissue paper areas. This will allow you to block light from certain directions when taking photographs. 

10) Add your lighting. Photo lights, flashes, and even standard desk lamps can be placed on either side or above the box to produce the desired lighting effect.

your final work will look like this:
