Thanks for the ideas Micael! I plan talk about this video and will share the link on my show. I LOVE your diffuser!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!
Thank u sir for your valuable tips. I started following ur works and ur priceless words, and it is helping me a lot sir. Plz sir suggest more tips about editing photos.Thank u sir.
Hi Micael! I've cut off a round hole in the middle of an A4 sheet of white paper then created a cone with this paper and thus made a very cheap diffuser. It worked very very well. Thanks for your hints. Regards.
Love the flash diffuser! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love that you show the settings used with each photo! Thank you for that:)
Great ideas Micael, love the diffuser idea!, thanks for sharing!
Some cool things to try at home as we are all confined to our homes right now !!
Super helpful, especially at this time of the year. Thanks Micael
I've been in to micro photography lately And shooting flowers so this is great inspiration and I will definitely be trying these. 🙌🙌
That is the best flash diffuser I've ever seen!
Can't wait for Summer! Nice diffusor btw
I’m only a kid but I started macro photography last summer in august 2019. I was on holiday and put my phone close up to a strand of grass and it literally looked so good and I decided to get into it
Hope you still going 👍
@@letszoomit365 i stopped doing it for a while because school was getting stressful but i think i’m probably going to take photography for my gcses because i’m still very interested in it
@@emily-katemcmillan1163 I think that sounds great 👍
great ideas for a dull weather day
Great idea for the difuser.
I have taken some super macro htos with an inverted 18-55mm lens of salt, sand, sponges, fabric/textiles, the stingers of the nettle and they look awesome.
Hi great idea love the simple idea for making a diffuser I’ve just got into macro photography the possibilities are literally endless it just opens up a whole new world and using light and shadow you create some amazing images love the water drops idea genius.
Excellent! Really like the specs for ISO & Aperture.
Thank you, winter here and looking for macro ideas for inside the house, perfect!
Very inspirational, Thanks Micael
Thanks Micael!
Very useful and helpful.
Thanks.
Nice job Micael! This is making me want to pull out my camera on this dreadful day here in pa.
Thanks for giving me something to shoot for the next hour! 👍🏼
Thanks for good ideas!
Congratulations on the web site, Miceal!
Thank you for the video and the subject ideas.
Oh man, worth watching just for the diffuser idea alone. Will be making some immediately.
Another good idea for diffusing flash. Others include a used Pringles tube with a slot cut for the flash head and with the plastic lid kept on as a diffuser.
Just as good as my £50 magnetic globe diffuser and easier to get into tight spaces.
Some good subject suggestions too - gonna try these. Thanks a lot.
Dankjewel Micael, leuke ideeën en prachtige foto’s 😀
Oh my gosh you are so amazing im going to try this i konw they are going to look so good THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for the video. I really liked tip number 3. i often forget the benefits of shooting parallel to the subject.
I just discovered your very good channel this afternoon, thanks for thoose tips ;)
I really like your videos. Thanks for posting EXIF data.
Muy creativo ese difusor para lograr un excelente video como todas sus producciones muy profesionales, felicitaciones y que se le multipliquen sus conocimientos
Awesome video 💯
Jättebra tutoriel, det hjälpte mig att lära mig macro bilder
interesting idea i'll try at home 👍
Nice video with very good ideas , Many Thanks
Hello Friend.
Good ideas and good photos.
Thank you for your reply, I must have a shot at macro .
Very good job:)
Really loved all these ideas! I have a question, what program do you use to create your videos?
Awesome
Вдохновил!
Don’t forget about toys! Maybe you have kids or you are a collector. Model trains or war scenes are awesome. Or board games with miniature figurines.
One time I bought a bunch of cherry tomatoes in the supermarket, and the next day they were growing mold and we cannot eat them anymore. Bad quality. But it was a perfect subject for me to photograph. When I saw your tomatoes it made me think about that.
Brilliant
Michael, really enjoy your videos so practical and down to earth, music not blown out, almost zen like.
Foam defuser - I like how it can be adjusted for lens length and deforms if it touches the object.
My extension tubes arrive today, what lens is best for macro on a canon crop sensor- 10-18mm, 50mm , or 85mm ?
I started photography a month ago, so much to learn and discovering so many different types, with macro I can sit at my kitchen table and discover entire worlds.
If you ever make it to Southern California I would love to buy you lunch.
Thanks! :) I would start with the 50mm lens, but all three will probably work fine. Never been to the US west coast, would love to come one day.
Wau Amazing
Hi, great video with lots of tips. Please could you tell Me the type of diffuser you used. It looks perfect for my Olympus.
Well if you have enough patience to watch until 6:35 you will get your answers.. ;)
It's funny. i like it
Inspiring content, well presented, without distracting hype. Well done. My guess is that coin photo would be a good candidate for focus stacking to get multiple levels of coins in focus. Your thoughts?
Yeah you could definitely do stacking there to get all the coins razor sharp. But in my opinion it sometimes looks more aesthetically pleasing with some background blur :)
will these work without flash?
👍
They are called Cherry Tomatoes in the USA
Greetings, thank you for sharing, I want to start taking macro photos as a hobby, but I don't have a flash or a macro lens (in Mexico they are very expensive) Can I get good results with extension tubes??? thank you
Yes you can get great results with extension tubes. Start with that.
@@MicaelWidell Thank you very much, I subscribe and I wish you much more success, you are very talented and creative 😊
Can the foam diffuser be utilized with a built in flash, or must it be used with an external flash?
Can’t see why it wouldn’t work with built in flash. Just try :)
Hi Micael,
since you are also using a Sony camera for macro I need to ask you this: How do you preview the image in the electronic viewfinder? I have the problem that with the macro settings dialed in the viewfinder is just black. Of course I can shoot photos with the flash at the right exposure (I am currently using a very cheap LED ringlight), but I cannot compose and focus when the flash is not firing since the preview image is always pure black.
My only guess is that since my flash is completely manual power it cannot communicate well with the camera.
The most important feature in Sony cameras is the one called "Setting Effect" in the menus - when shooting macro it is good to turn it off, which means the camera will make the EVF picture as bright and nice as possible so you can see what's going on. Remember to still expose correctly though, as this setting will not save your photos from being underexposed :)
Please tell me what is better to use for macro photography, macrorings or macrolens?
Macro lens is better because you can quickly adjust the magnification. Macro rings are a lot cheaper. Both give equally good image quality.
Can you please say more about the adaptor you used for the Meike MK300? Plus which version of the MK300 did you use?
These days I would recommend the mk320 instead. Available for all systems. The adapter was some cheap no name adapter I found on eBay.
See my video about the mk320
@@MicaelWidell Thanks !
@@MicaelWidell will do ! Cheers!
If I use a ring flash is it necessary to use a diffuser?
It is necessary if you want your photos to look good.
How do you get such vibrant colors?
Use a flash and diffuser, expose correctly, avoid direct sunlight on your subject.
'''''''''????????????????
Sir, which is the best macro lens for canon camera ?
I'm not sure. Most of the lenses available are good. Depends on what you are going to be shooting and how much you care about autofocus, magnification range and being able to electronically change aperture.
@@MicaelWidell sir plz make one video comparing between MPE 65 mm macro lens and 100 mm macro lens 🙏
@@dipakbinayak1443 I have the Sigma 105mm Macro lens and it is Great. I use a Canon T7i and a Canon 6d. Macro is so much fun. Thank you Micael for your videos. So helpful.
Picture tips in mobile plz
Add glycerin to you water spray for better drops
Mobile function picture
Baby Tomatoes are more tasty :P ...
Cool Last name.
Hello there, fellow Widell 😄
I liked the video but the 'music' was quite intrusive and irritating.
The flash on your camera doesn't seem to flash, the light seems to be coming from behind.
Yes it is a bit of a problem to get it to appear on video, because it is so fast (usually 1/10 000 second or so). But let me assure you it came from the flash on the camera :)
