The zoom setting on the flash doesn't apply when you're using a diffuser, only with direct flash - the wider the better usually, depending on the diffuser, but with yours I would definitely experiment and see if you get less of a hotspot with 24mm setting!

@scotttilleyphotography 13 дней назад

Thanks for the tip! Something I hadn't considered and I will be checking out when I'm next doing macro. One of the best things about RU-vid is being able to share our tips! Will pin this one for everyone👌👍

@MrSimonj1970 13 дней назад

@@scotttilleyphotography it probably won't make a big difference with small diffusers, but it's important with bigger ones.

Thank you! I'm a complete newbee at photography in general. I've come to an age where have much more time on my hands. I'm a musician myself with 45+ yrs of learning and I still find myself very far from being accomplished in any way. It's a constant process of learning. Beside loving Nature which I consider being The Holy Symphony, I shoot as much as I can to try to get in peace with the basics. I'm watching hours of content everyday as I discover what an infinite universe of discoveries this wonderful art is. So much to discover and so little Time... I found invaluable information in this video, thank you ! I subscribe right away and go enjoy your teachings in your other videos! You sir sure make superb photos.

@scotttilleyphotography 11 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. I am really glad you got something from the video. I have to say that the love of being out in nature fuels my photography. Even so, sometimes I find myself forgetting the camera and just savouring those moments in nature that inspire and lift the soul! 🙏👍

Great tips again Scott. I like as you say waiting for the subject to land on a flower that you are already focused on and you have chosen your background and composition before the subject gets there. Cheers Keith

@scotttilleyphotography Год назад

Cheers Keith, it can be a long wait using that method but definately worth the wait. Thanks for watching mate🙏👍

A good stance is one I need to work on. I'm 6'4 and when I get my stance wrong I look like a Raccoon leaving the bars dumpster on a Friday night. 😂 Great video!

@scotttilleyphotography Год назад

That's an image I can't get out of my head!😂 It's worse when you try to correct it in the midle of shooting, had a few near misses with nettles and water in my time😂 Thanks for watching👍

Thanks for your video. I tend to practice every one of your tips with an exception with the flash settings. I'm working on that. One could also entice an insect to visit an area by using things like sugar water, orange slices and so on.

@scotttilleyphotography Год назад

Hi. Thanks for watching and great tip. I know this method is used a lot for butterflies and moths and can be very effective 👍

@CamillaI Год назад

Great tips Scott I don't use flash myself but understand a lot of people do. it certainly helps on dull days. My latest tip for macro is don't worry so much about ISO these days ! The software ie. DXO and even lightroom Denoise is great. Also a tip I have just picked up from Keith Griffin and Roger Hance is to stack photo for depth of field (which they do hand held amazing). Again a new area of tech which if you have the facility on your camera is well worth giving a go, just keep still using your stance tip or use a monopod ! Truly blessed these with the equipment available 😀

@scotttilleyphotography Год назад

Couldn't agree more Mark. I use DXO pureraw and the rrsults are amazing compared to just a few years ago. Will have to look into stacking hand held! We won't have to turn up soon mate😂 Thanks for watching👍

@CamillaI Год назад

@@scotttilleyphotography Yes it feels like cheating sometimes these days 😃

@igordmitriv8964 Год назад

like your video. Thank you for tips. How do you fight with harsh light?

@scotttilleyphotography Год назад

Hi, I usually prefer to shoot on bright but overcast days to effectively remove the harsh shadows. On bright days using the flash does help to balance things out but ideally bright but overcast is the way to go. Thanks for watching 👍

@usernamemykel 2 месяца назад

I have seen very many YT videos on the subject, hence very many images, and it appears that many of your images have "hotspots/glare", which means that you need more diffusion - perhaps just a piece of parchment paper on you diffuser would help. Thanks for the tutorial.!

@scotttilleyphotography 2 месяца назад

Interesting! I will explore this on my next macro outing!👌

@usernamemykel 2 месяца назад

@suits1346 10 месяцев назад

Great video, Scott. I am not able to use my optical view finder to do focus peaking, do you suggest using your live view to get good focus and use focus peaking?

@scotttilleyphotography 10 месяцев назад

Hi, yes you should be fine using the live view. I have used this method before but don't use it much as I would have to use glasses to see it so find it easier to use the view finder which is set up for my eyes.👍
