nice and clear video! thanks for sharing those tips!
and love the small aquarium/terrarium for holding smal insects/plants at home... now I want one haha
Really helpful, thanks very much!!
Great vid, Rory. Some great tips there 👍
Cheers Luke! Glad you enjoyed it, buddy! 😊🙏
Hi Rory and Venus Optics, thanks for the video! I have never used burst for exposures and have always clicked, moved focus and clicked till the entire depth of the subject has been covered. Burst might take a little getting used to, but I am going to try it just the same! Thank you!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah that sniping method can work fine, however using burst and your camera's maximum speed can really help get those images you need really quickly, which is so helpful when dealing with such shy and fast moving subjects. It takes a little time to master, but when you do, you should definitely find a higher success rate. 🙏
❤excellent. Thanks 🙏
I want to see a new improved version of the Laowa 15mm Macro Lens without shift-mode, thank you, I even would like to see other wide angle focal lengths Lenses with macro mode !
great video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Greeting. thanks for the explanation, this method is much more efficient. how do you set the flash to fire equally in burst mode. the flash lights up 2 times and the rest of the images are black. I have a godox TT685II and a canon eos 90d
That retouch tool for helicon would have been extra useful today . I spent the entire day using clone in lr to fix the stack lol
Thanks for the video man🙌And a couple more words for promotion❤
Thanks to you too my friend! Really glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏
What flash are you using?
Excellent class. Congratulations. Now a question: what brand and model of flash did you use in the demonstration. I have a Sony A7IV. Thanks. Hermano, from Brazil.
Hi Hermano, sorry for the late reply. It is the Godox V860ii
Thanks Rory. I notice that they are CR2 files. Was it a Canon camera? What settings do you use for the rapid fire of the flash? Thanks.
Yes this will work, however I did pick up a small 1960's German rail last year that needs to be put to work. Of course, that means tripod. I originally bought it with the notion of making my own stereo view cards.
May I ask whether a movement like front to back would suffice or can you do a left to right or vice versa?
I don't know if I am wrong but if you are moving slowly towards your subject whilst taking shots doesn't the subject become slightly larger with each shot. Would this show in the final stacked image. Obviously not but why not. Thankyou for your video. Ken
It is macro lens , shooting 1:1 actual scale
What's the flash settings in / off camera for those fast bursts ??
Hi, a manual setting of 1/64 will allow a burst of around 100 on this flash, and 1/32 gives about 45.
@macro_by_rory 1:43 Did you find him at home?🧐 Beautiful spider😍 I'm watching without sound, please forgive me for the stupid questions😅
3:35 You're wearing outerwear indoors, how cold was it there?
It is! But not a UK spider.. Not really cold, but no heating in my office either 😅😅😅
Can you specify the camera, lens and flash settings you used? Thanks.
Sure no problem! Canon EOS R7, Laowa RF 90mm 2:1 and Godox V860ii with Cygnustech diffuser. My general base settings for focus stacking are F8, 1/200s and ISO 320. Flash from 1/64 to 1/32 manual. Burst speed set at high speed+ (electric first curtain) 🙏
Thanks🙏@@macro_by_rory
1:03 single shot?
Yep! To demonstrate the differences 😁
I take macros but single shots, i will never burst light continously on those poor insects for my hobby .. what if it blinds them or stress them
Hi, I understand your concern, however many insects are quite happy to remain in direct bright sunlight with no eyelids for many hours at a time, so I doubt it does them any harm, there is a possibility some may feel a little alarmed, but I find they are more bothered by the sound of the shutter than the flash itself.
Bruh they eyes work different, for them it’s just a fast source of light they can support even more than direct strong sunlight a flash gives you more detail
focus stack gives you more depth of field by just bursting, for the insect it doesn’t cause any harm they aren’t mammals
More likely you can damage the insect if the flash falls of the hot shoe
How do you handle mosquitoes in your house?
Oh brother.
