I absolutely love photographing insects at night. I find my cheap flash works better at night. I assume this is because it's not competing with other light sources. Normally my flash has a horrible recycle time. At night the flash power can be lowered, increasing recycle time. Lovely video!

Hi Stewart thanks for a great video & just one question I'd like to ask, what setting did you use to get your flash to keep firing when doing focus bracket, it's a problem I find to be able to do with my Canon 600 EX-RT?

@StewartWoodArt

10 ай бұрын

I was using 1/32 power.

Awesome. You really learned the nature of the insects. Subscribed. I need a help. I have R5 and Godox v1. I can't use flash burst mode during in body focus bracketing. Its only possible in high speed mode (flash don't work if I set focus bracketing from camera menu). Multiple flash firing during a focus bracketing is really fun. In my case I myself have to move forward or backward for a stacking to use flash. What is holding me back?

Just getting started in macro and im loving the focus peaking on the m1 mark ii .the trouble im finding is when ths shutter is half pressed the peaking stops working. What setting do i change to stop this happening.

@@StewartWoodArt HI iam waiting for your answer about the speed in bracketing mode :)

So I have an R5, no flash focus stack. I bought a EM1-X for under 400 for live view. Little did I realize it is good for macro. I don't have a TT350o. I do have 2 MF12. Do you think one of these will work as well as your set up. I think the GN is 16 for ms and 32 for TT350. I don't want to have to buy yet another flash and I have to buy a 60mm Oly macro lens for this to work I am guessing my adapted ef lenses will not work with the Viltrox adapter. Did you try the MF12? If so is it powerful enough to not have misfires?

@StewartWoodArt

10 ай бұрын

I haven’t tried the MF12 on the Olympus because I don’t have a trigger for it. It was quite slow on my Canon system though.

Credit where its due ,a very good production .One question ,with all that gear in your bag where did you put your sandwiches .

I'm torn between an Olympus and a fuji, bot have focus bracketing that my dslr doesnt have, plus half the weight. Id lean to the 4:3, but then again why not the A7cR?

Double check the focus stacking of each camera, all though they say it can do it some can’t stack while using a flash.

What was the name of the stacking program? 😅

It seems that there is no chance of doing that stack manually. How to take 100 or even only 10 photos when turning th focus ring and always touching the camera let alone the model itself. What do you think?
