These macro shots look amazing, especially with a cheap lens. I would love to see some photos of bugs or honeybees in your next video. They have unique colors and patterns that would look stunning in macro shots.😊
sound design is fun and very time consuming, thats why it only lasted 30 seconds 😅 The technique is old and basic but difficult, thats why not many use it 🤷♂
For not a lot of money you can get a focus rail if you enjoy macro photography, I use it to get my subject focused and then it also makes focus stacking easier. Extention tubes are also a great way to get closer, I've got this old Pentax 28mm lens that I reversed on my camera, the great thing with the old lenses are that they are cheap and they use an aperture ring, so it's easy to change your aperture, if you then put extension tubes between the lens and the body you get even more extreme macro
That looks like a ton of work and time. I dabbled with that technique on an Olympus OM-1 in the late 70's/early 80's, but, except for an exposure needle, the camera and lens were both only manual. You set the aperture on the ring and kept the button pushed in while focusing and shooting. Focus was done by leaning in and out. Concerning macro on stock sites, have you found there is much demand for macro? Also, do you sacrifice a little perceived magnification and try to leave negative space? Thanks for doing this great video.
It is a lot of work 😅 It took me 3 days to photograph and process the images for the video, there are tools like a macro rail that would make it easier, but for the purpose of this budget video I didn’t order one, maybe I will in a future update. A manual lens would be a bit easier than going back and forth with the camera 😅. As far as commercial value, I haven’t shot a ton of macro. Maybe 100 photos but hey have paid for my 180mm macro Lens, ($1300) so I believe there is value. And because of what it is I don’t think the negative space is as necessary, Helpful yes, but not necessary
Another great series and yes would like to know about your process for the other mushrooms. Maybe also add any insight on how to use those hood contraptions attached to a camera that macro photographers use? Another item for anyone that has a little more $ to spend, is a Close Up Filter from NISI filters. Only $120 and comes with step up rings to convert your 70-200 or 100-400m to a macro. I have used mine a couple times. Takes a bit to get used to but you get some really cool results.

This is awesome! I never heard of this technique before. Amazing pictures! Great intro and sound design. That stuff takes so much time.

Thanks for this!! 🙏 I have tubes and a few other toys, maybe I'll make another video on macro with proper tools 😅
its as cold AF "auto focus" 😂
😁
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! I hope it was helpful!!
Thanks Charlie, interesting!
Of course! Thank you for the comment!
It was fun going back to basics, not easy 😅, but definitely interesting 😁

Nice!
Do you use any dedicated tripod for macro photography? If yes can you share the details?
Cold as Auto Focus? 😀😀😀
😁, I do not have a macro tripod, I don't shoot enough macro, but now I'm looking, it is very interesting I cant believe I haven't done more of this 😅
Just curious. Where did you get your tent? I never thought of using that for a studio. Great Idea!
I just found one on amazon that would work as a travel gym and then I noticed the light was even so now it is both a gym and a. studio 😁
@@wollertz Thank you. I have been planning on building a studio in my back yard. This might be a better solution

How many uploads do you have in your shutterstock portfolio till now sir?
At one point I had 33000 pics but I deleted 95% of the low sellers asan experiment so my portafolio is much smaller today.
