I've whacked the subscribe button, Great job Lee. I remembered to switch off and pull the plug from the socket before stripping out a wire strand, I just need to perfect my technique in focussing with my vintage manual lenses. This is just what I need to get my little grey cells back working since retirement...Thank You.
Good evening kind sir thank you ever so much for your kindness and support. It's a great little pass time and it always turns heads when you tell people it's only a little bit of copper wire. If ever you need any help just drop me a message my friend
I´m following you since 4 days and I have already impressed with your job, I looking forward go out to look for a dandelion by can try your tips by the moment I have copper wire, camera and water. congratulation, I hope your amazing next video Instagram @juanjo.cazorla
Hi Lee, i love your videos so much. I followed you videos in the past and had great results using jewellery wire but can’t remember what size I used. You have inspired me to do more so could you advise me again what size wire is best. Look after yourself and keep on inspiring us with you imagination for new projects.
Just watched this amazing video! I love your explanations and demonstrations on how to… Thank you and best wishes for good health . Looking forward to watching more 😊😁
Wow thank you Gary I really appreciate your kindness and support. I am so glad you are enjoying my videos I will have to start making some new one soon
Brilliant idea. I'll be hunting in the shed for old wires to strip tomorrow. Only thing is I'm running out of room what with photo frames that I'm glueing together, jars of dandelions seeds, pringle tubes... You're a bad influence on my hoarding lol.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Randy Louie thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Wow thank you kindly sir i really do appreciate your kindness we are all still learning and i dont think we will ever stop. I might not be the best youtuber in the world or photographer but i have the passion and love to share.
Thank you Diane I totally understand what you are going through it really is not nice. I found photography or should I say photography found me lol. One off the best things that ever came into my life. When I looked through that little hole in the camera I found all my worries started to disappear. It was like no one could see me and I could do what I wanted. I love my creative photography and love trying to find new ideas to pass on to like minded people like your self. If ever you need any help or tips just drop me a message my friend. Stay safe and happy snapping 📸🙏📸
@@LeeHallphotography thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Loving your videos so keep going. My problem Is motivation as much as I so desperately want to do some pics my depression holds me back and its so annoying. I managed to get up yesterday and put all my things back together so I'm hoping the next couple of days I will be feel up to getting out of bed to do some. I'm looking forward to spring to get some dandelion clocks. Thanks so much for replying I really appreciate it.
Thank you lee for your message on FB. I was unable to reply. It wouldn't let me. Been watching the waterfall one. How relaxing and lovely that is to be there. Although looking at your camera standing in the water was panicking me a bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dianejohnson6777 hahaha I do get in some funny places trust me I made sure it was safe lol. You can still message me on Facebook just put Lee hall in on Facebook and you will see my main account with the same profile picture
Loved the video Lee and very interesting and innovative use of basic objects and kit and that is what both myself and very many others amateurs love the best mate. Keep safe and keep well and keep the videos coming. I'm a subscriber now.
Great techniques!! We also live and breath macro world primarily stop motion. I greatly appreciated your insights from an insider.🙏 Also, like the choice of the black gloves to keep us focused on what you are doing, nice touch👏
Oh wow! You have so inspired me! I love macro, it's my favorite thing to do outdoors. The winter is getting long now here in Minnesota, so I search for things to do inside, and I started to think about water drop photography again. I do have a dropper system, to get splashes, but I think I'm lacking motivation to get it running. That is when I found your video... then your videos. And I have to tell you, you are my favorite now. I like that you want to share, that you don't want to keep it yours and a secret. You know you've been there, get to video that shows you what you can do, but doesn't fully explain how to get there. I know that my settings may be different, but at least it's a starting point. So last weekend I set out got me some wire. And I can't wait to get started. I did want to ask you how far in is your wire from the edge of the plate, and how much you have it out of the liquid? I think by the way I can't see it that it's pretty small. Also, do you add anything to your water to help it stay? Mine keep falling off, maybe I need to just slow down. Well anyway, thank you so so much for sharing and getting me excited.
Wow wow wow thank you ever so much I am going to re do that video because you are so right about not seeing it properly I was a new bee to video stuff lol. The wire was around 40mm into the plate. I never add anything to my water it just takes practice to start off but the more you do the more it becomes easier. With the wire trie to make the hoop as small as you can trust me you can do it I would love to see your pictures once you have taken them. Hope you have fun and stay safe and happy snapping 📸
Thanks Lee, now I know why mine aren't working! I'm doing the twists/holes too large and that's why they are not holding the droplets. Great vid and very very helpful thank you.
Hi Lee. Thank you again for some great ideas. May I please suggest that you lock your focus when showing us the back of your camera screen, so that the auto focus doesn't hunt. Cheers.
You did it again another fantastic little video I'm off now to try it with that coloured light and a paper clip wish me luck, just had my second covid jab I tried 2 persuade the nurse to give me the used syringe she wouldn't give me that one and suggested I go to rehab, but she finally did give me a couple new ones when I told her what they were for, she is now also following you ,
Thank you mate you don't need any luck you got this trust me. Please stay safe and make sure you are ok after that jab mate. I asked my nurse for a couple she just laughed at me and told me to sod off lol. I will get around her trust me. 😉
Great Vlog Lee, The only advice I would give you is that I use Matte backgrounds the same as Stuart Wood, that cuts the glare and reflection down from the light
Just found your videos, superb stuff, had a macro lens for yonks and used it a handfull of times, but this stuck in the house and watching your vids gets the juices flowing, need to give it a bash, expect a load of failures though, keep up the good work
HI Lee, this video on copper wire and water is amazing. I had learnt so much. Over the past few weeks I have really enjoyed experimenting with copper, water Drops and dandelion seed. Thanks so much
Like others, I stumbled on to you and really enjoy your tutorials. I’ve been doing macro for quite a few years and it is my favorite of all the arts. Please tell me something about the photos in this video. Are they soft, meant to be soft , or are they tack sharp or somewhere in between.No criticism, my vision is not what it used to be.I just want feedback from you so that I can see your vision, because I love the look. Thanks .
Thank you ever so much for your kindness and support I really appreciate it. The water drop is a little soft as I have just kept it out of focus to give it a softer dreamy look but the wire is sharp my friend. I hope this helps out. Once again thank you for your kindness and support
HI! I tried to take photos like you did in the video but I can't get round drops. I am not able to place them on slots, I also have difficulty getting the drops to stay on the copper or iron material... How do you do it? Do you use only water or also glycerin or something else? Congratulations for the videos and photos. Thank you
Hi my friend I only use water in my video. The best thing to try is get some fine abrasive paper and rub the wire first this way it will help the water droplets hold better. Some times the wire might have a fine coating of grease on this will not allow the water droplets to stick on as well. I hope this helps you out please let me know how you get on Stay safe and happy snapping
Hi mate The pest once again. I have tried a spray bottle, dropper, syringe thin wire thick wire small diameter hole 0.75mm to 1.5mm hole every time the drop forms underneath, once it formed on top lasted 3 seconds. I tried some washing up liquid but it failed. Thank you for all your help
Hello my friend the only thing i can say is try and make your hole a little smaller or add glycerine to your water my friend. I really carnt understand why this is happening 😢😢😢
Hello my friend i alway shoot in raw only because it can be better if you want to edit your picture after my friend jpeg is just as good and saves a lot of memory on your card
Hello my friend i think it is 0.2mm my friend you can get it from ebay it is jewelry wire. Hope this helps my friend thank you kindly for watching and supporting me
Absolutely. I've just bought a cheap set of 3 from eBay (Andoer) for $30 Australian Dollars and they work so well with my 50mm prime & also on my 35-150mm Tamron.
Hi Lee I am trying this set up at the moment I am using some 0.5mm gauge wire wrapped it around the skewer initially the hole was about 1.5 mm, too big I think as the drop filter through and would not hold. I have now snipped it near the bottom of the skewer, whole is now 0.75mm water still cannot hold. Am I doing something wrong, is the wire gauge too thick any help would be great.
Hi Lee, I am trying the wire water droplets and my droplets do not stay on the top of the loops I make. I have tried various sizes of loop I use a syringe to place the water. How do you get yours to stay on the top of the wire?
Hello my friend you have to make the loop as small as you can my friend if the hole is to big it will just drop through my friend if you twist the loop round you should still get a picture like the one on my pictures my friend
