    I love your photos and I learn from your videos, thanks for what you do for the macro community. When you do focus stacking I see you use JPG. Would it be better with raw photos or does it not matter?

    You have to face a Holy God on Judgment Day. He sees lust as adultery (Matt. 5:28) and hatred as murder (1 John 3:15). Will you be guilty? Jesus took your punishment on the cross, and rose again defeating death, to save you from Hell. Repent (Luke 13:5) and trust in Him today.” John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

    It is good, but even when not at 1:1, it is hunting a lot and find autofocus unusable. As bad or worse than the leica 45mm. Sure manual focus is standard in macro but in some conditions (underwater), good autofocus helps !

    I want to take a moment here to THANK YOU about this video in particular. Here you demonstrate a way to add lighting effects into a picture with layers, a color brush, and lots of blurring. I've never come across this before, and after this video I tried it on a picture, and Wow!! that really added a lot to it. I am definitely going to try more of this, and to try taking more pictures with this application in mind. If you are looking for a video to do one day "off-season", perhaps a special one where you go over this method. Cheers!

    Another great series of images. Unfortunately, I am unable to hold my camera, etc., steady enough for focus stacking or bracketing: and I hardly ever take out my monopod or one of my tripods for insect work - too much messing about and not very spontaneous. Instead, I tend to shoot at anywhere between f13 - f16. Years ago, diffraction was an issue, but with modern software I don't see a problem. I do use my tripods for focus stacking in my garden studio, but that is under reasonably controlled conditions.

    I have to say, it is really nice to see all the pre-edited, pre-stacked images to understand that they don't all need to be perfectly aligned to create an excellent final stack. That part has been bothering me after watching a ton of other videos about macro stacks, but this demonstrates that there is flex in that area of stacking. Many thanks. Do you always use a flash for every shot?

    • @Xx7trey
      @Xx7trey 16 дней назад
