Absolutely excellent. So much good advice. I have a goal to get at least one decent shot of a favorite tiger beetle found in our area . They are white and found at area beaches with white sand . Can't get within 3 feet of them no matter how much I've tried , up and down until my legs can't take it any more ! One day .....

Great video. Well done. Kinda missed the macro season this year because of work, but am gonna practice on what things I can find before the winter to be ready for the spring. House spiders are always an option :) Cheers for the pointers on focus stacking. haven't tried that yet, and really want to give it a go for getting better depth of field in the wild. I have the Laowa 2.5-x5 macro lens but haven't tried it outside yet. Wondering if handheld focus stacking will make it worthwhile.

Brilliant. This is EXACTLY the tips I’ve been hoping to see. My passion is macro (or at least close-up) with butterflies and dragonflies. I want to do more with true up-close macro, but I was never sure about the best equipment for the job.Lately I’ve been catching butterflies in the late afternoon, keeping them overnight, and in the morning placing them on flowers when they are still cold. The butterflies fly away when they warm up. The shots turn out beautifully, but I want to really get into the type of shots that you do. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this video. Am I right is saying that Laowa don't make a macro lens for the OM system?

when you have a bunch of images front>back then back>front etc...which helicon focus algorithm (A/B/C) do you find works best? i.e with a series that is not in simple one-directional order? thanks!

I just don't like using a flash in the field because it ruins the natural light. I photograph butterfly mostly and I like that warm sunset glow and so I'll wait for a subject to settle and move in slowly either with a tripod or handheld. Never had an issue not using a flash. I've always used sigma lenses but recently switched a Nikon MC 105.

"If you haven't got a flash, you're not going to be able to do handheld photography very well out in the field" Well, I'm going to call bs on that

How can you take a picture of a butterfly that don't want to be steady for a second and fly away even without posing?😫

What if continues flash blinds these poor insects..?

@1kwords 6 ай бұрын

There's no proof or indication that flash bothers the insects in any way. In years of doing macro I never once saw any insect react in any way to flash lights, not the faintest twitch or startle. Nothing, ever.

@dayeah765caoni3 I did and. What I thought is correct. It can blind or even kill some insects
