How do you not have 100's of thousands of subscribers? You're absolutely amazing!!! I've never been more inspired and am currently watching all of your videos from the first to the most recent and I'm only a quarter of the way through. I have a request....if you haven't done so already, if you could do a video on how you edit your images, that would be great! If not, that's okay. :) I just love what you do. You're art and your words of encouragement have seriously pulled me out of my funk. Thank you!!

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for all the information ,and the entertaining way you make the process easy to grasp.

Thanks Lee. I tried this and was amazed at the results. I need a longer Pringles tube - I cut mine too short, and I need to bend the background card more. I learned these two things when I watched this a 2nd time as my images were good for a first try, but not as good as yours. Fantastic stuff, and really simply explained (and I understand the accent as it's very local!)

Beautiful! I tried this last year and it turned out good, but I wasn’t be able to get the colors in the milk with the colored backgrounds when I used the flash. I worked around it by bending the paper over the milk and shoot with natural light. I think the problem was in the paper that I used, it was’t reflective, it was normal paper. So I give it a try again one of these days when I get my hand on some of that shiny paper. Love how it turned out, also with the editing! Have a nice evening, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Hi Lee, great video 👍🏻 Have you tried the coloured bulb on the dandelion seed instead of the flash and card? Just wondered!

Hiya Lee, great video. May I ask why you never use the flash on your camera?

@LeeHallphotography

5 ай бұрын

Hi my friend my camera doesn’t have a built in flash. So I can only use the off camera flash. I do use it a lot but mainly when I am bouncing light for my water droplets or insect photography so I can freeze the subject

Impressive image and clear well paced explanations. Some might place a diffuser on the end of the light modifier. Ever try that? Cheers!
