Reflections, shadows and colour are the names of the game for this macro photography tutorial. We are shooting knives and forks from the kitchen to create some amazing abstract macro photography
Using the coloured lighting arms of the Adaptalux Studio to explore this shiny cutlery is good fun if you need inspiration for photography subjects to shoot on a rainy day in the winter. Exploring common household items through photography can be a great way to spend a cosy day indoors.

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

It's good fun for those indoor days! Thanks for watching!

@tuyppppppp 4 года назад

I do such abstract macro very regularly, one of my favourite styles. Fun video!

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Abstract is one of the most enjoyable styles for sure, it lends it's self to creative thinking!

@alonelyfish5583 4 года назад

Great video! I’m excited to try it for myself

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Glad to hear you were inspired to try it out, let us know how your shoot goes!

@d.g.l.photography89 4 года назад

An alternative to perspex is using a black polished floor or wall tile, i use a large 450mm x 450mm one for alot of my desktop works, or a whit one (same size). Another alternative is using a mirror!

@randyfox5317 4 года назад

Also black plexiglass is available in many home improvement stores as well as art supply stores (like Blicks). I use it but it IS rather easy to scratch. I will try your suggestion for a black polished floor tile. It might have a little more resistance to scratches.

@d.g.l.photography89 4 года назад

@@randyfox5317 i was told black granite or similar, but i not ound any like that yet, but anything black and polished surface, not a normal wall tile but cut square

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Tiles are a good call Darren, though might be a little heavy if you start a collection!

@d.g.l.photography89 4 года назад

@@Adaptalux ive only ever brought 2 in over 10 years, 1 pure white, and 1 pure black, and find them so usfull in lots of desk top photo projects, not just macro work. But yes can be a little heavy at the 450X450mm size, but will last i taken care of

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

@@d.g.l.photography89 Indeed, and much more scratch resistant as Randy says. I use a little rough bit of slate too if I'm going for something a little less reflective and more rugged.

@hankfoto 4 года назад

Many thanks Stephen!

@sheldoncross5373 3 месяца назад

Have you thought about making a dummy insert with little clamps for holding things....

@Adaptalux 3 месяца назад

Hey Sheldon, We have something similar, we call it the macro subject holder - adaptalux.com/product/flexible-macro-subject-holder/

@ashstubbings2603 4 года назад

I do think the Adaptalux system is a fantastic idea, however I think it's also VERY expensive for what it is.

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback Ashley, I'd encourage you to have a look at some of the info on the website, it has a lot of features that justify the cost of the system.

@lueyd6267 4 года назад

Granddaughter and I watched the video and she is out setting up the items she thinks will be fun to do. Thank you for the idea. It is indeed a cold day out and this is one way to have fun with her😊 I don't see where your system is to purchase, I'll look on some of your older videos

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

It's so nice to hear that you and your granddaughter found inspiration from the video. Hope you had a fun weekend of creativity! Here's a quick link to the lighting if you wanted to check it out - adaptalux.com/studio/

@PedroVenancio72 4 года назад

Cheers Ben, another great video... from Portugal 🤙👋😄 your camera is Nikon D5600, is a nice one i have one to love it,

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Thanks Pedro, the D5600 does a great job, it's a nice little camera for things like this.

Thanks Michael!

@claudinchenchen 4 года назад

Nice idea, nice photos! I have digital filters for such effects, but it's much more fun to create them analog ;-)

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

It's true that some of this can be achieved in photoshop etc, but it's much easier to do it for real, and yes, more fun too!

@paulinap-k8409 3 года назад

I am binge watching your videos. What shutter speed, ISO and apertute do you recommend for this kind of shots in dark?

@Adaptalux 3 года назад

The knife one was taken at f11 1/160 and ISO1000. Your mileage may vary depending on how close you have your lights and how much of your reflective object is in frame.

@bipspadhiar6736 4 года назад

Love it! Will you be at the Photography Show next March in Birmingham?

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Thanks Bips, We certainly will, come by our stand and say hi!

Hi Man, Thanks for that! it is really great video! Can I ask, what do you call the lighting set. Thanks once again!

@CrowleysArt 4 года назад

Hello, I have a question I was hoping you might be able to answer. I am looking into getting into Macro Photography, and I have had my eye on the Sony A7R4 with the 61 mega pixels and was wondering if this would be a good camera to use for macro work, because of the ability to crop in and retain really good details.

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

Hi Ziffle, that's a great choice, you cant really go wrong with high end cameras like that, and yes those megapixels will give you more flexibility with cropping for sure.

@briansrcadventures1316 4 года назад

Ooh, that Adaptalux kit looks very interesting.... Something to save the pennies up for I think!

@@Adaptalux hi thank you I have the adaptalux studio I just wondered what lights or defuser from the adaptalux studio you had used for that particular shot.

Ben, what is “perspect” and what is its equivalent in the US?

@d.g.l.photography89 4 года назад

think you mean perspex, its a kind of plastic, or you can try alternative that i listed above

@Adaptalux 4 года назад

@Darren got it, Perspex, it's just acrylic plastic, you can get it cut to size for quite cheap and in lots of different colours, so it makes for a good surface to shoot on.
