Really like the pop of color behind the dandelion. Gives a very nice effect. Great tutorial!

Good evening Ben. I do hope that you are well and keeping safe. Great video. Tried this at the begging of lock down. Very interesting and very fragile flower dandelions, with great results. Thank you for sharing.

Love your videos. Finally today after watching you guys since your kickstarter launch I placed an order. So I just need to find something to do to distract me until your able to ship. I’m like a kid in a candy store.

Hi Ben, great video. I’ve tried this subject over summer, they are so fragile (and messy) but lots of interesting details. I spayed with tonic water and lit with UV ... results varied. Also off topic when I was shooting garden flowers under UV long exposure, I also found they housed tiny creatures so most photos had little bug streaks ! Andrea (Australia)😁

I did think about trying it with some tonic water and UV, did you post the results anywhere? I'd love to see how you got on!

Great video and explanations, thanks Ben.

To better protect delicate flower stems I hold the tubing with the aligator clips then insert the stem into the free end of the tube. The benifit is absolutely no damage to the stem, the downside is a little less controll over the position of the bloom.

That's a good way of doing it! I think the straw I had a was a little too narrow to hold a stem but it's a good idea for next time, thanks!

The whole is the clock. What you are pulling out are the seeds!

Hi I’m wondering if you ship to Switzerland? And what do you prefer for beginners? A million thanks in advance br Claudia

@Adaptalux

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Claudia, We do ship to Switzerland. For beginners, i'd probably recommend a starter pack which comes with 2 arms of your choice, so you can have white and colours if you wish. It depends a lot on your personal preference and the subjects you would like to shoot. Check out some of our other videos, there's lots of inspiration on which arm combinations might suit your style!

Hi Steve, they're going to be included in packs from now on, in place of some of the other literature. Part of an ongoing redesign of the pack experience. Drop us an email with your order details and I'll see what we can do.

They are called dandelion seeds not clocks, the main thing is but the small ones are seeds :-). I have one on order and roll on next week when it comes. Can’t thank Ben enough for his advice and help choosing it, the UV light will be my big challenge I think

Pradipta Datta the actual head is known as a head or clock, the individual sections are called dandelion seeds. Called a clock as people used to blow them and think they would tell the time ! I was born and brought up in the countryside so I’m used to the old tales and blown a few trying to tell the time 🤦‍♀️😂

Hi Ben, what a nice video about colourful Dandelion macro photography you've uploaded. I uploaded a little series about 'starting with macro photography on a budget'. Thank you sharing this very nice footage.
