    This is a great video. I followed your directions and was able to capture a really nice image of a fallen leaf. I would never have thought of 'Dark Field' technique without your video but found it quite easy after a few tries. Thank you and all the best for 2024.

    Yes, you could do this with continuous light, but remember flash is very efficient. Therefore you will need a lot of continuous light. Thanks for watching.

  • @CameraClubLive

    @CameraClubLive

    2 жыл бұрын

    The mask opening is made to match the aspect ratio of the camera sensor. An easy way to get the size right is to place the card about 200mm in front of the lens then looking through the view finder mark the edge of the frame on the card.

    Hi Sir. I was planning to try and replicate that image. I don't have an 85mm 1.2. I presume 85mm + 12mm = 97mm. Is a 100mm or 105mm lens going to give you the same working/focusing distance.

    In some cases a better result can be achieved with a sheet of diffusion material and this can be just a simple white plastic bag. As in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYJlyaqcgK_ehcY.html
