That was such a great conversation to sit in on. Tim's work is incredible. I love the enthusiasm he had too.

I’m considering doing an uncut version. This was only about half! Thanks for watching.

Good questions, interesting answers - thanks for the intro to Tim Grimsby and the joys of photographing in Tasmania.

Tim is so easy going, it was a joy to chat in the forest. Thank you for watching.

Very nice interview and discussion. With very good photos in the links provided. I have just started my journey in close up photography with insects. With regard to polarisers there used to be a person on the Mu-43 forum that used two polarisiers and sheet polarising material to control reflections and hot spots on spiders etc Unless I missed it what type of diffuser does Tim use for in camera stacking and single focus shots? I am also an Olympus/OM user and learning to focus stack is high on my to do list. Tried hand held but not too successfull.

I’m no expert when it comes to macro and I learned a lot the day I went out with Tim. From what I recall, Tim was using a flexible silver reflector. It wasn’t too dissimilar to the kind you would use for a jetboil stove to keep the pot warm. He was able to bend and shape it to his needs for each shot. The great thing about fungi is that you can take your time. I imagine that insect would be insanely difficult to photograph! As with any form of photography, the more you learn, the more you learn that you need to learn. Good luck with your journey. I am sure there are many amazing discoveries in store for you. I will see if Tim can answer your question more directly. I’m glad you liked it!

Hiya! I use a Cygnustech Diffuser when I use flash, but tend to use natural light whenever I can. Does lead to longer exposure times, which is tricky if it's windy, but I find it works most of the time.

@@petemellows Thank you for the reply. I did see that one but was not sure if that was used for stacking. Tim also replied with the diffuses he uses for stacking. I have heard of the one he uses and will look into one.

The lens you use on the OM1 is that a Olympic lens or another brand.?

I believe the one Tim was using was the Olympus 90mm macro.

I have to say this Tim is mistaken when he says that the magnification ration of the lens is doubled because it is on a M43 format camera. All that gets changed is the field of view not the laws of physics.

That is certainly true in terms of dimensions and, when viewed to fit on a screen, it appears twice the size. There are other factors, of course, such as actual pixels. For example, many full-frame cameras are still only 24MP, where Tim's camera is 20MP. Still smaller, but not by much. Thanks for watching.

Does Tim not have a KZread channel?

Tim posts short video reels on Instagram only. They’re very entertaining! He has a busy life and finds concentrating on one platform is enough. If you are able, you should definitely follow him there 👍🏼
