Your work and post processing are amazing. I have said it before, but I will say it again. Get a publisher and produce a book. You have the portfolio and you have the knowledge.

Thank you so much. Means a lot to me. And I’ve never considered that but I will now. What kind of book are you talking about though?

@AnaaNis1233 6 ай бұрын

@Xx7trey I second that. One of THE BEST and trendsetting younger macrophotographers financed this book wtih kickstarter. Would be surprised if you do not know him already: don komarechka. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. I suggest you contact him if you have questions, he will be able to give you tipps in case you have questions in this early stage ig your career.

Wow that robber fly was cooperative :) Also was really great light you had on it, are you happy with the AK diffuser? Also the end of you video was quite suspenseful, I was nervous watching lol :)

@Xx7trey 7 ай бұрын

Yeah I couldn’t believe how cooperative it was because they’re never like that. And yeah I love the diffuser, it’s great

Thank you for this excellent video! I saw your photos on Flickr and was glad to see you have a KZfaq channel with some tutorials and information. I've only ever done macros with a moment 10x lens that attached to my smartphone, but when I got a new phone the lens was no longer compatible. I've never tried stacking before though. I'll check out some of your other videos, again thank you so much your work is extremely high quality and the insight you shared here about halfway through the video, about getting eye level with your subject, I never thought about that it's a great idea!

Beautiful photos. Although I watched a few of your vids in the past, someone at the UHH Ugly Hedgehog Photography Forum posted a link to this vid in the True Macro Section. You move the camera or does it have the stacking feature in camera? Like that jumping syder, I never get the depth of feid you did at f6.3 or even a much smaller aperture. Beautiful work. Happy holidays & happy shooting.

@Xx7trey 6 ай бұрын

The focus bracketing feature in Olympus cameras will do the stacking itself so I don’t have to move the camera at all, just have to stay as still as possible. And thank you so much, happy holidays to you too

Magnificent photos. What software do you use for the stacking? Thanks

Ive been doing bird photography which is a completely different setup as im sure you know but seeing this video, has made me want to try some macro stuff.

@Xx7trey 7 ай бұрын

It’s definitely worth a try

Hey, great shots American dude. We don't have the fantastic range of insects you are shooting here in the UK. You are very lucky to live in such a rich and diverse place. Keep on shooting.

why do you shoot on iso 200 not 100?

@Xx7trey 7 ай бұрын

My camera doesn’t have a option for 100 iso. The lowest it can go to is 64 and usually when I have it at 64, the photos will come out underexposed most of the time.
