Very old cameras, maybe, but costly ones. Thank you.

@CameraClubLive 2 дня назад

It is possible to pick up an old 5x4 camera for a lot less than some mirror less cameras today. Thanks for watching.

I love the fact that no matter what camera you're using, there is a wealth of knowledge that you are freely sharing with us. Thank you for your videos, I learn something new every time I watch one. The way you do your presentation, makes me feel like I'm sitting in a chair in your studio with you, as if in a classroom.

Thanks for presenting a bit of closeup/macro photography. I noticed that some comments referred to your expensive equipment. Just to point out that there’s relatively inexpensive options like extension tubes, closeup lenses by such vendors as NiSi and Raynox that can convert a standard lens into a macro lens, and even a reversing ring that for example allows an ordinary lens like a 50mm to act like a macro. So macro and closeup is within the reach of the majority of photographers. One warning - it’s habit forming.😉

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

You are so right, it is habit forming and the equipment need not be expensive. Technique is all. I have seen very good results even from an iPhone. Thank you very much for your comment, and thank you for watching.

Great result. Thank you very much for your videos! I only shoot with APSC cameras and don't have any studio flashes, softboxes or light shapers. Nevertheless, your instructions helped me enormously because I had to think about how I could implement them with my equipment. Sometimes a white sheet of paper or a sheet of parchment paper is used and a desk lamp is repurposed for the lighting. It's fun to experiment and the results are impressive, even if they're not quite as good as your photos.

A lot of equipment really isn’t necessary. It’s the technique that counts. Combined with a bit of ingenuity, if you apply the correct techniques, you can achieve great things. Thanks for watching.

Excellent, (it you are a millionaire), an expensive hobby!

@CameraClubLive 2 месяца назад

Photography doesn’t need to be an expensive hobby. you can pick up a used 5x4 camera for less than £200. Thanks for watching.

@bikalpa1234 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much for teaching us. Now I know how Macro lens are made. Why my extension tube is nothing but a tube with electric connection terminal, why my macro lens is longer than my other lens. In many way today's episode is an eye opening one. Thanks again, have a great time.

How did you focus? I have a 4x5 and focusing it takes quite a lot of skill. Thanks for the videos. I have learned a lot of technique and it's fun trying to duplicate with my equipment.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

As the camera I was using didn’t have a view finder focusing is a bit tricky. I initially focus on the ground glass screen. I then replace the rear standard with the camera. Then I applied a distance offset to take account of the different focusing plane. This gets me in the ballpark, I can then fine tune with multiple captures. it’s a bit of a pain, but it does work. thank you for watching the video.

@Mr1Spring 4 месяца назад

Can you get any closer? The individual cells are nice. In addition, would it be possible to get the yellow stem in focus as well? You have afterall a tilt/ shift option.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

Yes, it would be possible to get everything in focus. Possibly with a tilt. However, may be easier with focus stacking. I will demonstrate both techniques in a future video. thanks for watching.

I used to prefer the simpler prosumer equipment. I would enjoy even more if you whent to apsc too.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

My previous camera was a Canon 1dx mkII, not exactly simpler equipment. I am moving away from the major brands in an attempt to be more generic. Having said that I hope to do something with the smaller formats like APSC in the near future. Thanks for watching.

@hibeekenny338 4 месяца назад

When you bring out a 40k camera I'm afraid I just switch off. Enjoyed your previous videos with ordinary cameras which I can align to. To appeal to the majority of amatuer photographers you need to use equipment we can afford.

@johndaily263 4 месяца назад

I haven’t watched the full video yet, but isn’t the digital back more for us to be able to participate in the process and see the results in real time? This could very well be done with film instead, but we wouldn’t get that feedback.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

Finally some one who understands. thank you.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

It's not a 40k camera. The new price for the back and camera lens etc. is more like 60-80k. My previous camera was a Canon 1dx mkII, not exactly ordinary equipment. I am moving away from the major brands in an attempt to be more generic. You do need to look past the equipment and apply the techniques to your own level of equipment. Thanks for watching.

@josephpoon6485 4 месяца назад

WHY DO YOU USED A 4X5 TO PHOTOGRAPH THESE FLOWERS IN COMPARATION TO 35MM MARCO CAMERA ?

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

I was looking for a more generic way to show the technique. The equipment is, to a certain degree irrelevant, It's the process which is fundamental to the photography. Thanks for watching.

@tonybongo1122 4 месяца назад

Sadly lately your delving into an area which the average photography cannot afford.

@CameraClubLive 4 месяца назад

People say "it's not about the equipment" and as far as learning a technique is concerned I believe that to be true. You do need to look past the equipment and apply the techniques to your own level of equipment. Thanks for watching.
