The orange firey fungus? I'm surprised, I didn't love that shot at all, but I guess that's what makes photography so fun, everyone has different tastes! Thanks for watching!
not the orange fungus, the one at 8:18 with the flash. always find it hard to take photos of a fallen tree base. im always up in that forrest, i was up there a couple of weeks and got a couple shots of mushrooms but i think i was to early. maybe next weekend. @@AndrewLanxonPhotography
Great film, thanks for your advice. That shot with the spider on the mushroom was like a Pantomime, I bet there were hundreds of big kids shouting "Behind you!!!"
Great advice. Lots of people are intimidated by flash - so was I - but using the flash in Manual mode gives a nice boost to low light and freezes the breeze which is often a problem with outdoor macro. I like your wider pics which show the environment too.
yay - mushroom season is here 🙂 my daughter and I love to photograph them and identify and collect them virtually in an app lovely shots - especially the one flash-lit from above
Andrew I've been following along and love the macro photography that you do but let's take a second to compliment your videography in this one. Spectacular job my friend. My fave pic has to be the textured look of the mushroom in the dark part of the forest. Great angle on the lighting.
Really good. I am interested in learning macro and this has been quite helpful. You have some tricks up your sleeve I never would have thought of. Cheers
Hi Andrew, These are my favorite videos. I enjoy the macro shots. Love the red capped mushroom and the last one on the video after you added a little flash especially. I used your video about shooting the daisy at home and have gotten some great practice in using the flash off my camera. Next weekend I will rewatch your video where you experimented with drops of water and then I’m going to try to duplicate that. I learn a lot by watching and trying to replicate what you’re doing. I didn’t understand how to use, to my benefit, the macro rings (I bought the set of three) but this video today actually showed me how to use them effectively. Thank you for continuing your videos each week. I always enjoy them. - Tammy
Andrew, great video. Good suggestion to use wide angel lens for macro to get a better view of the surrounding. Which Macro ring did you use on your RF camera?
Hi Andrew, your macro photography is a great inspiration as ever. I really struggle to find mushrooms/fungis around Edinburgh at the moment, I have tried Roslin Glen, Dalkeith and Vogrie with no luck... Would you mind sharing your forest location? Thanks!
When you did the stack series of the red cap, I think you said you took 85 images but I was wondering how many were actually used in the final composite? I assume not all of the 85.
I think I used about 40 or so. Essentially a mid slice of the set that included the mushroom and some foreground but still allowing a nice natural falloff in focus
I really like your inclusion of context and thinking of story. That makes the photos into views of a living forest and not just a design on the wall of an art gallery. But I didn't understand why you passed up the mushrooms which you said had been eaten by insects or animals. Don't those also have rich stories? Can one tell what particular thing was eating it by the shapes carved into the mushroom or the season or ??? Don't those shapes have lots of interesting macro and lighting and shadows opportunities?
Isn't there any other animals in the forest? I'm almost beginner to macro, and I want to dive in to a forest and look for some cool stuff but I'm a bit scared of wild animals.

It was SO GOOD to get out into the forest. Any fav pics from the bunch?
Love the red cap image and also the fungus on the dead tree.

Ah well that does make more sense! Yeah I think things are starting to bloom now. Always worth heading back more times, particularly after rain

Stumbled upon this video as a new photographer and enjoyed it a lot, thanks. Now you've got me searching macro lenses!

Im a seasoned wedding tog and already learned a couple things from this one video. Great stuff man. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Im subscribed now.

lovely shots - especially the one flash-lit from above
That sounds lovely! And you must have way better knowledge of them than I do! Do you know any of the names of the ones in this video? I have no idea!
It's looking good in Korea. I am commenting using Google Translator. Please upload more good videos in the future!
So beautiful. Thank you Andrew.
I love your passion, you are an inspiration, Andrew. Thank you.
Thanks so much, that's really kind!

Nice video! I really like wide angle macro for these mushrooms.

Great to follow along as you work the scene. Excellent work Andrew!
Thanks very much!
Love the small one absolutely beautiful. Also the one where you used your flash first . Another brilliant video
Thanks Jean, always appreciate the time you take to say such nice things!
I love white mushroom with flare of flash light in the behind...

Wonderful, thanks!!!
Great video Andrew really appreciate the tips and tricks, nice lighting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Ross, I hope it's helpful!
Great macro as always wishing they were much longer , look forward to the next one.
Your macro content never disappoints!! 👍🏻
Another great video, Andrew!
Thanks very much!
Andrew, great video. Good suggestion to use wide angel lens for macro to get a better view of the surrounding. Which Macro ring did you use on your RF camera?
Lovely shots! What extension tubes are you using for your R system?
3:30 - No. You're not over thinking that, at all. You're exactly right. It's the story.
Thanks for the support! Good to know it's not just in my head.

We saw the spider as you were talking.....😂😂
Where is this forest?
interesting. i tried telling you about the spider but i couldnt get a word in lol. what flashes and led panels do you use?
You should have shouted louder! I can't believe I missed it, I reckon it might have been the best shot of the day! I was using the godox ad100 here
@@AndrewLanxonPhotography we all miss opportunities lol. Have you done a lighting video on what you use?
Yup, my last video was a breakdown of off camera flash using this light, and a bunch of weeks ago I did a video on all the macro equipment I use
@@AndrewLanxonPhotography I shall look for that. Thank you
thank you i'll watch later
