A diffuser is probably the most important piece of equipment to have as a macro photographer. Having a good one can really make a huge difference in your photos and in this video, I’m going to review one of the most popular macro diffusers out there, the akdiffuser.

So many macro photographers out there are obsessed with just showing very detailed pictures of insect body parts. Your pictures put a better context of how you would see insects in nature if you were just obeserving them with your own eyes but way closer than your eyes will let you! Really great pictures, man!

Nice ! It took me a minute to realize you are stacking most of your images. That diffuser seems to have helped you out alot. Im looking at a neewer z2s flash right now and I think Im pretty sold on this AK diffuser. I use a laowa 100mm f2.8. That raynox adapter you have makes surprisingly good images

Great acquisition, Trey. I picked up an AK a few months ago, and love it. I used to have a setup with an articulating arm attached to my camera holding a flash with it's own light modifier attached. It was heavy and clunky, almost impossible to hold steady with one hand. The AK makes it a much lighter and compact system. The results are fantastic.

I ended up going with the cygnustech (which is pretty similar in a lot of ways) and am really happy with it. The AK is super legit too though. That raynox holder is cool. I didn't know it had that til your video. I'm excited to catch more stacked photos on your insta! Great video as always man!

I'm glad to see you upgrading your rig. That extra light transfer is going to really increase the success of your stacks, which are already incredible. Now that it is official, you need to start tagging your Instagram photos with the AK. Now that I know you have been using it since July, I went back through your amazing Instagram page and looked at your photos. Simple incredible. HUGE fan!

I appreciate it🙏🏾🙏🏾 all the photos on my ig right now were took with my old diffuser. I haven’t posted any that were took with the AK. I’m very behind on editing, this video and the photos in it were filmed/shot in early July and I’m still editing pics from that month. This is just the beginning, all of my upcoming macro videos will have some of the best shots I’ve ever took so stay tuned.

Hello! Does the diffuser bother you when you want to adjust the focus ring?
@Xx7trey
@Xx7trey 8 ай бұрын
With my Olympus setup, I don’t use the focus ring on my lens. If I want to readjust the scene by zooming out or in, I just switch my camera to autofocus and once I get the scene I want I switch it back to manual.

For focus bracketing? They key is to just shoot with a lower flash power, between 1/64 - 1/16 power
