Do you use lighting in your macro or do you use natural light only?
Well, I am not professional photographer, I am all over the place. I recently bought a ring flash which I use with my Nikon d810 and 105 mm macro lens. I will share some of my pictures with you
I have been using the Adaptalux lights for a couple weeks now and I really like them! Lot’s of “flexibility” (pun intended!) The lights have various ways to diffuse the light and the amount of light generated is adjustable with the app or on the controller. Works a LOT better than flash!!
Thanks for your feedback. I quite like these too and I only had them for a few weeks also!✌️😉
Thanks for putting the name of these lights.
Your backpack is like Batmans utility belt.
Filled with awesome tools, useful for any macro shoot!
Your compositions are always great and well lit.
Thanks for sharing.👍
Thanks for the comment, you’re welcome😉✌️
I just discovered you, you have a very cool work :) It's crazy, I liked it a lot. I wish you success in everything.
Thanks for that word of encouragement. It is much appreciated.!😉✌️
Je suis toujours impressioné de voir que tu utilise de l'eclairage meme le jour et de voir le magnifique resultat.
Bravo, beau talent et belle imagination.
Merci Alexandre pour ton feed-back. Comme tu as pu sûrement le constater, j’essaye de travailler à l’ombre ou pendant des journées nuageuse justement pour que la lumière du soleil a un impact minime sur mon sujet.
😉✌️

Hallo... I m from bandung city indonesia.. Thanks to your ideas about technic photography
😉✌️ thanks for your support
Another great video! Would it be possible for you to make a more in depth video showing how you focus stack your images? When I do it i always get artifacts and ghosting around my subject! Thanks!
This is an helpful comment, my friend. I really appreciate it and will make sure to cover it more deeply in the next video. Thanks again,✌️😉
Thanhk for sharing...i love macro
thanks for your comment✌️😉

Quality vid and tutorial, Daniel. Side by side frames work well. Pic in pic would work better, IMO, if you were not facing outside of the frame - upper right corner would have been fine. Thought you were going to elaborate on the flexible lighting you mentioned at the start of the vid. Thought the flex light system was your “innovative lighting” - capable and versatile fiber optic light system, but pricey and perhaps cost might be a deal-breaker for viewers who are not as invested in macro.
Second image w/blurred background works best, IMO. No problem using or own elements to build an image, as long as we don’t imply otherwise.
BTW, there’s a YT host/channel that has a name remarkably similar to yours - “Daniel Ockeloen” who covers photo tech. Any relation?😊
Thank you, Paul, for your feedback and kind words. I appreciate your thoughts on the video and will consider your suggestions for future content. Regarding the flexible lighting system, I will make sure to include more information in upcoming videos. As for using my own elements to create images, I agree with your perspective. And to address your mention of another RUclips host, "Daniel Ockeloen," there is no relation between us. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. ✌️😉
Photography is a technical process. However, Image taking can be “documentary” where nothing is manipulated, or “art” where the picture imparts emotion but does not pretend to be factual. Like a still life subject in an art class. Each has its purpose.
Documentary purists should note, however, that even a “factual” image can lie, based on what is left out of a photo, like the two faces of Mumbai, with a city scape in one direction and sprawling slums if you turn around.
Just as long as you’re up-front with what the image represents, both forms of image taking are legitimate.
What a beautiful way to put it. Thanks for your thought.✌️🫶😉
Yes sir… long time wait😂😂😂😂
Nice one sir🫵🫡👍❤🙏😇
Thanks man!🤘😉
Intéressant comme système de lumière pour de la macro photo. J'ai sauvegardé le site web dans mes favoris.
Merci pour la commentaire.😉✌️
@@DanielAucoinFineArt Une petite question. Quelle lentille utilises-tu pour les photos macro?
You can recommend types of lamps for macro photography in your next video?
Yes, that’s a great idea. Thanks for your comment.😉✌️
❤
✌️❤️
Thanks Daniel for the tips. I really loved your videos. How to be you? 😅😅😅
Just be yourself! Being authentic is key, right? 😉👍
Do you think bunch of Lume Cubes are better than those cables with LED lights? You haven't used it to that time (I mean.. you could live without that), so it's more like a gimmick (?), but not in the wrong way? I don't think it will be yours first way to color the background / lighten your object.
I love working with different lighting equipment since they all have their own advantages. What’s fun about the flexible ones is that you can get a little more precise when working with tiny subjects. It’s only a matter of personal choices. From my perspective, any would work if you’re able to shape them in various ways. I hope it answers your question. Thanks for your comment.✌️😉
Merci et bravo pour votre travail vraiment très enrichissant. Regarder la vidéo et lire les sous titres en français est très difficile. Parlez vous français ?
Merci pour la rétroaction !
😉✌️
Which lens do you use for macro photography? Loved your video 👌🏻

I'm shooting with Canon also. When I set up my camera sideways or upside down on the tripod, is there any way to rotate the orientation of the on-screen controls?
Yes, I think so. Here’s a link that explains how to do it.

Hello sir, I am from India
I'm whtch all videos.😊
Thanks for your comment. You do photography?✌️🙂
Just a small piece of criticism and some feedback for you. You stated “Let me demonstrate how I go about blending the image together” and then state that you aren’t familiar with the software. That means, you aren’t demonstrating how you typically blend the images together, you are only doing it this way because of the sponsor read. This tells me the viewer that you use something else typically to blend the images together, which means you dont deem Luminar good enough to use unless it is a sponsor.
Still a good video, just one thing that kind of stuck out to me.
Thank you for your feedback. Typically, I use Photoshop to blend images by opening them as layers and using the align feature, followed by the auto blend for a seamless result. However, I find the focus stacking feature in Luminar to be more seamless, which is why I highlighted it in the video. Despite the sponsorship, I believe Luminar provides quick and exceptional results, especially for photographers seeking efficient editing solutions. I will stick to using Lightroom for other features since I am more familiar with it. I hope this explanation clears things up for you, and I appreciate your comment.😉✌️
Keep "manipulating" your images Daniel, they're perfect ... I took a look at your lighting gear, WOW! expensive you say 😟
Thanks for your comment. Yes the equipment is on the expensive side but you can do a lot with your cell phone, light and aluminum foil.✌️😉
In my opinion f11 looked much better and more realistic
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I probably should have used F5.6 to have something right in the middle. I appreciate your comment.!✌️😉
Call yourself an "image creator" than just photographer, then manipulation is ok
✌️😉
