The biggest like yet, for releasing the ant with a honeyfull stomach. Love your patience with the little critters.

@StewartWoodArt 4 года назад

Oh she was very happy :)

@malcolmrendle6622 3 года назад

I really enjoy your videos being a mere beginner having mainly used 1:1 I am moving upto 2:1 macro, I struggle being less supple that older age brings and not having the best eyesight, but take heart watching your down to earth approach I am amazed that you make 5X mag photography look so easy! and love the way you don't talk down to us like some on here tend to

@StewartWoodArt 3 года назад

Thank you, I do try my best :)

Little tip. Dont hold your breath, it makes you tense up. A tip I learnt from a wildlife photographer using large lenses. Try and take the shot when you are 2/3 to 3/4 breathed out. I know when you use a flash its not quite the same but the basics are similar. Hope this helps, keep up the good work.

I'll give it a go, thank you :)

As usual top notch video mate. I always enjoy how you present them. Detailed, clear and easy to follow. Thanks from all the little creatures that you photograph for your caring nature. I’ve seen a bit of flack getting around on social media regarding the harming of insects just to get the perfect shot and likes etc. I’m 100% with you on that subject. Never really thought of photographing ants. Gonna give it a whirl. 👍

@StewartWoodArt 4 года назад

Give it a go, it's great fun. I'm all for not harming the subject when photographing them, no need to be honest.

your work is so good you deserve a verified account. I love your accent its so soothing. Great work....

Just re-watched this one as it has the crafty bell on the lens - I'm surprised (in a good way) how good it looks on the honey drop...

Good one today, I’ll need to go outside as ants are not allowed in the house. At Stratford upon Avon butterfly farm there a few leaf cutter ants. Enjoyable to watch and to photograph.

@StewartWoodArt 4 года назад

I've seen them, I'm looking at getting my own leaf cutter ant colony :)

Great video, I have tried something similar. I put out an orange segment outside o a wooden hand rail and broke it up leaving a trail 5 or 6 hours later I return and found about 10 ants going around and capture a few shot. Great work

Hi Stewart I'm new to macro and I loved the video. I bought a sigma 105 macro but probably need to buy a flash so do you have any suggestions that won't break the bank and would I need TTL or just a manual one. Thanks Sean

Hi Stewart. I have a very controversial question 🤔. What do you think about killing insects for high mag photos or stacking? Thanks a lot.

@linkedinfred 3 года назад

I have a question off topic from this video. Does using a 1:1 lens on a APS-C sensor change the 1:1 magnification then using on a full frame?

Hi Stuart I’ve a 90d and bought a Laowa 100mm lens, getting into macro you might say, what flash would you go for for this set up, some advice would be really handy, I know the one you use is that still the way to go or would you go for something different. Regards Alan.

@StewartWoodArt 4 года назад

I would take a look at the Meike MK-MT24 Macro Twin Lite Flash, I'm looking to get one when my current flash fails.

Thanks bud I'll have a look, think I've seen it but thought a bit pricey, can't remember. Thanks Al.

@davidford3505 4 года назад

Great video and very helpful, thanks. One question, did the ant start his own channel after his 5 mins of fame?

@xavidub 4 года назад

There's another Macro photographer on here, who while excellent, thinks nothing of gathering and gassing 100 insects on the off chance that he might find one to photograph. Even though he's very accomplished I think its disgusting tbh and to my mind you are a far better photographer for working within the limitations of not harming the animal.

@StewartWoodArt 4 года назад

Thank you, I don't see the point in harming the subject just to get an image. I'm not working for a scientific study for university.
