I'm really impressed at how you can hand hold those shots. I would be shaking like a leaf. End results are National Geographic level!

@@JamieSpensley any recommendations for a macro good btw ? I've come across the ak , pope and cynustech but was hoping for something available a little quicker than 3 weeks minimum lol. No worries if not , cheers for the content it genuinely makes me want to get out and take more photos !

@douglasmulcahy1778 Год назад

Great content! You have inspired me to get back out in the meadows and muck to find subjects. I'll need a lot a practice to even come close the the shots that you get. In the meantime, I've found a used Olympus OM-D em-1 ii and a 60mm macro to use instead of my R5 (that cannot focus stack with AF due to the electronic shutter when focus bracketing).Keep the videos coming!

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thank you! I'm glad to have inspired you. My one tip would be to go out early in the morning as subjects are very still and it makes the whole process a lot easier

@MossyEarth Год назад

Very cool! Thank you for sharing your methods :) Curious why you use the colour backgrounds? Is it for aesthetics or does it have a practical aspect to it? - Cheers, Duarte

@JamieSpensley 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! When using a flash, the background is usually quite dark unless the background is close to the subject. I use coloured backgrounds because I'm not a fan of the black background aesthetic and I like to make my subject pop

@jpl5007 Год назад

Hello Jamie! I really enjoy watching your videos. Could you kindly share the OM Focus Bracketing settings you used for these stacks? I'm curious about your Differential and Charge Time settings. Thank you!

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thank you! I set my number of shots to 999 and press the shutter again once I'm happy, focus differential of 1 but sometimes 2 and charge time is 0 seconds.

@ggwildlife Год назад

Absolutely awesome, the only downside is that i want these to be a minimum of 1 hour long ;) look forward to the next one. strangely enough i just bought these exact cloths in a pack great value.

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Maybe I should do an hour long video sometime 🤔

@d.k.1394 Год назад

U better pay him if u are making requests

@uabpsab Год назад

Wow! Awesome photos! I would never have thought that you could do this excellent macro free-hand! One question: first the flash makes perhaps 10 flashes, then a pause, then 10 again and then maybe even a third group, is that 20 or 30 images together? Are the pauses cause flash needs to reload?

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thank you! The flash fires for every shot. It looks as if it isn't because of rolling shutter on the video camera

@frankwolter1491 Год назад

But the colored rags are a good idea.👍

@JamieSpensley Год назад

I've seen a few other macro photographers use them and they happen to work very well

@kennyk4134 Год назад

Can you imagine being a bug and suddenly someone puts a rave tent over you with strobe lights!

@JamieSpensley Год назад

@harleyjames2228 Год назад

Really impressive that you can get so many bugs to stay still while firing off large stacks. Of course, I'm sure plenty of them move on you. Are you able to successfully merge stacks if there is small movement between frames? Last time I tried a few stacks that had some subtle movement, both Photoshop and Helicon failed. It's a shame the focus stacking tools can't stretch and stitch like Panorama software. Which software have you had the most success with?

@JamieSpensley Год назад

There is little difference between software really. I use Zerene Stacker and some stacks come out clean and some don't. I do a lot of retouching inside of zerene stacker but if a subject moved a lot I'll have to manually mask things like legs and antennae in Photoshop.

@paulbromley5750 Год назад

Superb results. Are you using focus bracketing ?

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thank you! I do focus bracketing in camera and stack each image in Zerene stacker in post

@mcaetano2000 8 месяцев назад

Nice pictures! But I don't like using an artificial background. I prefer trying to find an angle that gives me the best natural background. To me that's part of the fun, and the result is the most natural possible

@jamesfyfe-smith8836 Год назад

Another great video. I have a question. Do you always use auto focus when using the Raynox

@JamieSpensley Год назад

I always use manual focus and often use automatic focus bracketing

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Early mornings as it is cold and bugs will not be very active. But you can get images of bugs any time of day if you have the patience

Muy buen video, y las fotos fantásticas, una pregunta, que programa usas y recomiendas para el apilado del enfoque, gracias.

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thank you! I use Zerene Stacker for focus stacking. Helicon focus is also good

@remusmoise8836 Год назад

Hello there, Nice work indeed. Very sharp and colourful shots. I really enjoy them. Your Godox flash works with the electronic shutter? can you focus stacking with the flash? Best all from Madrid!

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thanks! When I use the backing mode, it uses electronic shutter and works. But if I manually select electronic shutter, my flash won't fire. I have no idea why this is

@Kobor1480 2 месяца назад

Very nice video and great pictures. I have a question about photography technology. Do you use continuous shooting and slowly move the focus forward? Or do you use the camera's focus shifting function? Personally, I cannot see any images on the Ninkon Z8 while the focus is shifting. It would be very nice if you could give me some brief information here.

@JamieSpensley 2 месяца назад

I use Olympus' automatic focus bracketing most of the time. There are very few cases where I will manually focus bracket. And then I stack those frames in Zerene Stacker on my computer

@Fruhansen63 Год назад

Hi Jamie really nice photos, could you tell me which setting you use on your olumpus? whether you use photo stacking or bracking. thanks Jeanette DK

@MrDennisk4 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jamie, thanks for your great video's and do have a question for you, when shooting photo-stacks with flash, do you move slightly forwards when doing this?

@JamieSpensley 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes, but I have started mainly staying still and using automatic focus bracketing lately

@MrDennisk4 10 месяцев назад

@JamieSpensley Thanks for your reply Jamie to what I. Suspected you were doing because it was difficult to see any movement towards the subjects whilst your flash repeats were on, I find the only problem with bracket focusing with using a camera is that it leaves you limited with a jpeg lmage & not a Raw one when it comes to post-editing.

@billpektuzun5113 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jamie,I immensely enjoy watching your videos,keep up with the great work mate. I have a question for you please. Recently I’ve purchased canon 90d ,focus bracketing shots with led light works fine but somehow with canon speedlight 600ex-rt I can’t get it firing continuously.I can’t figure out why..I would appreciate if you could advise plz.thanks

@JamieSpensley 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I'm not entirely sure, but it may be something to do with the flash not being compatible with the focus bracketing mode if you are using that.

@somlidkhammalavong3292 Год назад

Hi Jamie First of all I would like to say thanks alot for the great Video . I would like to ask you about the Flashes, would would u recommend for the good Flashes about 100 $? I have Fujifilm camera . Many thanks , Somlid

@JamieSpensley Год назад

Thanks! I'm not too knowledgeable on what flashes are out there, but I highly recommend the Godox v350 or any flash with a Lithium ion battery.

@invertebratist Год назад

V350, V860iii etc are great flashes, available for X-mount too.

Can you do focus stacking with the OM-1 and 90mm I’ve done every setting and it won’t focus stack

I'm not 100% percent sure but I've seen others with this sort of setup using bracketing on Instagram

@sulagnomukherjee9840 Год назад

how long does your flash last with 50+ stack shots for each insect :D

@JamieSpensley Год назад

If I do several 50+ stacks one after the other then my flash can overheat. But generally, my flash doesn't have any problems until a few thousand images in

@deborahhammond8576 Год назад

How do you know before you start how many shot to set your bracketing at.

I set it to 999 shots and press the shutter again to stop the bracketing when I've got enough shots

Hello Jamie, you’r shooting with olympus handheld with flash. Sometimes your flash is not going to flash and why are you taken so many pics for one bug? Do you only use the pics where the flash actually did fire or do you use them all?
