This was very helpful for me who barely knows what he's doing when it comes to taking iris photos. I find it fascinating.
Great to hear that. Thank you 🙏 🙏
Thanks for having me again! Which topic should be our next challenge?
Thanks for being part of it, Jens. Maybe we should ask our subscribers 😁 not sure if that is a good idea though 😬
@@wolfamrihow about very close up iris photography ;)
You are the best photogtaphy instructure EVER.
Awww, thank you 🙏
amazing as always. proud subscriber here 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Really thinking about getting that shirt !
awwwww! Thanks.
Awesome.. 👍🏻😊
Thanks, Pragya!
super super, thank you very much !
Thank YOU!
Muito bom seu vídeo.
Thank you so much🙏🙏
This is super cool. I recently photographed an iris and this technique is what I was missing. Curious if using a small snoot on the flash would help direct the light. Such as the kind available for the Godox V1. I'll be giving it a try!
Sounds like a plan, Martin. A snoot will prevent spill, so it should work, every light former gas different characteristics though. I love to olay with light.
😍😍😍
Understanding exposure.?
just curious, my new Nikon Z8 can focus stack incredible fast, have you tried that?
Thank you! Great idea, my Olympus can do that too. I haven’t tried it for iris photography though 👍👍
awesome video! where is the download link for template?
Thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot. I’ll add it right away.
@@wolfamri noproblem, i noticed that my lens canon 17-55 can not shot well for my eris. it can not focus well. for macro shots. do you have any suggestions?
Did you use the kit lens??
Thank you
Hi Wamda! No, I used a Canon 100mm macro lens 😉
Do you need a macro lens for this? Do you have a video that shows how you make the back ground black in lightroom?
Hi Nathalie. A macro lens is definitely helpful if you want a really big magnification. But tomorrow I’ll post a video about various macro workarounds. That surely would help. Regarding the Lightroom video: have a look at my adjustment brush tutorial, that’s what you would need 😉

@@wolfamri you are truly the best! I can't even express my gratitude to you. Your channel has taught me so much!
awww, thanks 🤗. Great to hear the videos are helpful 😉
Hey Wolf, great tutorial 👍 link to the tool is not working?
Thanks, Lukas. I just checked, it works on my end. It's a pdf, do you have a reader installed on your device? Perhaps that could be the issue?
@@wolfamri it's working now Thank You
Which is best book for photography
I'm afraid I only ever read german books and even there only a very technical one that I needed to learn for my exam. Did you have a look at reviews?
Personally I think a good video can make you understand photography much quicker than a book, because it can show you samples and animations, but I may be biased 😁
Hi Wolf, the iris tool link is dead, as is photo1x1.com. Any chance you can upload the pdf someplace else?
Hi Igor! I just checked, it works on my end. Maybe there was a short downtime?
@@wolfamri nope, request times out, can't open photo1x1.com either. sry then, problem on my end it seems
I've uploaded it temporarily to wetransfer.com for you:

@@wolfamri thx a million Wolf, all the best!
My pleasure! Enjoy ;)
Seems link above for template is incomplete?
Hi John. I just tried it. It works. Did you click on it, or try to copy it?
@@wolfamri Thank you very much. Worked fine.
How u edit the iris photo?! On photoshop?! Can u do some shooting for the iris, i really need a help on that
I don’t do much really. I added some black around the iris, you can even do that in Lightroom using the radial gradient tool (hard gradient around the iris, reduce exposure, highlights, shadows, whites, black to the minimum and duplicate the gradient until it’s totally black). You don’t need to do much on the iris itself.
Hmmm, what’s the issue with the prints? How did you print the iris images? Could it be the monitor? Do you have the same issues with other images, or just Iris images? What were your camera settings?
@@wolfamri my camera setting on raw 200 iso, f13, manual focus, I don't know if the reason is the monitor, didn't know it will affect my print, the print turns to be not clear as the monitor.
@@lubna80lubna weird. Do you perhaps have a link to the image? What was your shutter speed? Or did you use flash?
@@wolfamri I use macro lens 100 mm and canon camera eos 6d mark 2
any one have a cheap recommendation for a starter set up like the 800 and up range
That really depends on what you plan to mostly photograph 😉
@@wolfamri I just wanted to be push in the right direction of option for Iris photography to see if I like it
Just like a good starter camera and macro lens and any good odds and ends
Do you have a camera yet, or do you start from scratch?
@@wolfamri from scratch at least a 24 Meg or better I want to be able to make the best pics I can to be able to print or order big prints the eye is so amazing just need a good ideal of a lens, camera and other accessories 😊 for the best starter experience I can have but not dump everything I have into if u know what I mean also what do u think is the best lens route a macro or a telephoto with tube extension
What focal length did you use here please?
I used 100mm 😉
@@wolfamri What about flash at close range to the eye? I'm a little concerned. What are the settings there? 1/100 of its power?
I’m afraid I can’t remember the exact setting. But exposing at a certain f-number will always get the same amount of light on your subject. So e.g. f/11 with a flash at 3m distance will throw the same actual amount of light to your subject as f/11 from 30cm distance. I hope that makes sense 😉.
@@wolfamri I'm concerned about potential damage to the eye in the long run
I totally understand your concern, but photomodels would have to worry big time if that was an issue. I once talked to an eye doctor in regard to flash for newborns (not iris photography though) and he said he wouldn't be concerned.
Thank you for your sharing. But I'm pretty desperate. I took iris photos with my smartphone (Google pixel 5) and a quality macro lens (moment). But I decided to invest in a real camera (Sony A7R2) with a macro lens (Sony FE 50mm F/2.8), a shutter release remote and a tripod. This material not that I am dissatisfied with the really incredible result that I could have with my smartphone (I have never seen anyone have results as good as mine with a smartphone), but to improve the ergonomics, personal comfort. With an invertible tripod, I am able to put the subject in a lying position, which is much more stable and comfortable... The problem is that after a few tests, with different settings (recommended on different tutorials), I don't I don't have satisfactory results, I know that one day I will find the appropriate settings, but for the moment this is not the case, I must provide a service in a few days and I will have to use my smartphone because I am not able to use my camera. I would love to find a photographer who can teach me how to use it and explain the settings to me. I don't have time right now to spend hours trying out different settings, and a pro could save me some time. I don't know, maybe the settings are particular on my Sony, for example we recommend ISO100 for the iris photo, but I heard that my camera with its CMOS sensor could go up more in the iso.. . I hope that someone could help me. 🙂
Hi there. What kind of issues do you have? Are they too dark, out of focus,...? What are you using for lighting?
Thanks a lot for the quick response!
The first ones I did with settings like: "1/100 f8.0 ISO100" or "1/125 F11 ISO100" were too dark. I was able to get something right by increasing the isos to 400, 800, and even 2000. But these are not very good results (Iris not clear, too bright, not enough detail etc) I know it would take patience, and I have to keep doing tests. But it's true only if I could find someone to explain to me. I am a very perfectionist and complex person but I also like simplicity. All these settings and these bad results are driving me a little crazy, I also currently have a lot of projects that take my time and I can't take the time to use my Sony device. It is for this reason that for my appointment I think I will use my smartphone, the comfort and ergonomics are very bad, but at least I manage to have good results. I will still try to edit my photos taken with the sony ... 🙂
I was using a continuous light (torchlight) for the photos I took with my smartphone. With the Sony, having done a lot of research, I chose to use a continuous light, because I found the remote flash system too expensive and difficult to set up. I'm thinking of replacing my flashlight (which was giving good results) with "articulated arm" macro lighting, which I can clip to the foot of my tripod with adapters, the advantage is that the light output is very small (therefore reflection minimal ), but maybe the power is not enough... I will send you a link to the lighting I use. PS: sorry if my English is not good.
@@wordofiris1130 I'm afraid there is no quick fix to this. The light you are using is extremely important in regard to the settings you can use. The brighter it is, the higher you can choose your f-number and shutter speed and the lower the ISO. Photography is all about light. Unfortunately weird teaching models like the exposure triangle make people forget about that.
Regarding the light: the distance is also extremely important. If it is twice the distance from your eye, it will only have 1/4 of the power. That difference is pretty massive when it comes to camera settings.
@@wolfamri Thank you for your time and advice, I will continue to learn 😉

Hindi plz
