Thank you for these very nice shots. I love shots with dew accentuating the subject. Your photo where dew magnifies the eye lenses of the insect is stunning, a prize-winner if ever I saw one.
It's also a bit what people say when they have been abducted by an alien, "suddenly I was in this completely purple environment and there were extreme white flashes of light and I heard strange sounds of creatures communicating"
Fabulous! 😊 I'd only seen maybe a dozen macro mirrorless videos, macro dsl videos. Those were all a few years ago. Now, I come here, and see THIS? This is all I need, in regards to planning. Lol thank you. You were having a lot of fun too!
Great photos and helpful tips again. It's a scorpion fly at the 8:45 mark, probably a Panorpa species. They are from the order Mecoptera (a very ancient group of insects, more than 250 million years old, possibly ancestors to butterflies & moths, caddis flies, two-wing flies, and fleas), with their very distinctive beak-like head with the jaws at the bottom end. In UK species the end of the male abdomen is often turned up rather like a scorpion tail - but it's harmless!
I really like your videos and find them very helpful. Can you do a video for those of us at the very beginning of our learning? Show how to attach the flash, Raynox, and diffuser? What diffuser do you use? Also show how to set your flash. Is your flash on manual? How to set your Olympus camera for focus stacking would be helpful too. Thank you!!❤
Really great shots. For the beginners, can you please explain in detail how to focus when holding the camera with one hand and the subject in the other and maybe the color table. I thought that with the in-camera focus bracketing for the starting point of the sequence, you have to manually set the closest focus point. How do you do that? Also, can you explain how you choose aperture and shutter speed in manual mode? With histogram? ISO you have set to the "native" ISO 200. Sorry for all the questions. I'm a little confused at the moment. Thank you very much!
Hi, you really have fantastic macro shots. Congratulations, really great, can I ask you what setting you have for your flash? And what modes do you have on your camera, single shot or high-speed shot, thank you.
Hi Jamie, just found your channel.. excellent. Would you consider doing a Macro for Beginners video I've only got a Nikon D5600 and a Sigma f2.8 105mm macro lens with an SB - 700 speedlight. Not sure what diffuser and post editting program I should get. Absolutely brilliant content 👍
Thank you! I'll definitely make some beginner videos soon. I'd recommend getting the Cygnustech diffuser. For editing, I use Lightroom and Photoshop. And for focus stacking I use Zerene Stacker.
cool! It's been years since I started taking pictures, but your way of shooting is amazing. Macro photography as I knew it was made with a tripod, special lighting, and a huge lens. It's amazing how simple it is. How do you do focusstack with handheld? I reflect on the past days when I was obsessed with equipment.
Thank you! I use focus bracketing which automatically turns my focus ring for me while taking images. I then press the shutter again to stop the process. I have to stay very still for this to work and sometimes I get motion blur depending on the scene
Great vid and results, just picked up the V350 myself and the Cygnus came earlier today - what zoom settings do you recommend to run on the flash, do you go as wide as possible to fill the entire diffuser or stick to lens length? I'm on an RF 100mm macro so unsure what to do!
Hello, great photos here, but I am just wondering if these little animals are not disturbed by all these bright lights and even suffered from them ? 😅 I love nature and when I take pictures I like to act very smoothly ❤
I just found your channel mate, nice content! What do you use to edit the pictures? And what are your settings, especially at 6:40? I think that your noise reduction settings might be a bit too much, since i can notice that oil paint look in the details. Im sure the original raw had more detail, especially in the eyes! But thats just critique on a "high" level, solid pictures :) Edit: 8:18, i can see a few stacking artifacts. Try using less stacks, increase the shutter speed to 1/100-1/200 and your flash or (depending on your noise levels) iso if needed. That photo could easily be a single shot or a stack of 2-3, atleast from what took. I dropped you a sub m8!
Thanks for the feedback! The image at 6:40 has no noise reduction. It looks okay on my computer, I think it appears softer in the video because of compression. For the second image, I went for a large stack and because I couldn't get stable, I ended up with a smaller stack. And in terms of the shutter, when using bracketing mode, my camera has a maximum shutter of 1/50
'That photo could easily be a single shot or a stack of 2-3' - Have to say, I was thinking the same. Some really nice photos, but there seems to be massive overkill when it comes to the number of shots in the stacks.
Thank you! I go out early in the morning to get still subjects and I rest my arms on my body or legs for stability. I also hold the plant the subject is on to keep that still.
Hi, congratulations for the photos they are very beautiful, tell me where I can find the flash diffuser you have on your Olympus. Thank you Andrew from Italy
When you do focus stacking are you just remaining still and allowing the camera to adjust the focal plain, or are you moving the camera closer/further away?
I use automatic focus bracketing which means I just stay still. And then I stack those frames in Zerene Stacker on my PC. Sometimes I do manual brackets where I move closer/further away
@@JamieSpensley Thanks! Do you find it harder to get results moving the camera manually? I've just started in macro and don't have a focus stacking option on my camera
I just got the oly 60 2.8 macro and Im not sure how to get maximum closeup ratio. I. Have the e-p7. The 1/1 dial on the lens won't stay it will go back, it seems to do nothing.. can somone explain how to get best results for small flowers and insects with this lens? It seems i have to be like 10 cm from the Insect, I'm. New to macro I think it is too close for them no? Also for me Im stressed and don't like bugs haha. I have the Canon R and I wonder if a ff macro lens will be better from a longer distance than this m43 setup?
Great stuff. What flash and diffuser are you using please. I have OM1 and macro lens and want to start with flash. Also when you are bracketing up to 70;shots what stacking software are you us8 g please
Stunning stuff. I'm new to macro with a pretty similar setup and I can't imagine getting a decent 40 image stack. I'm doing every part of the stack manually lol b/c I suck with flashes. Can you do a quick tutorial on getting your flash to fire with the bracketing/stacking (not sure which you're using) without blackouts and half-blackouts and all that nonsense? Thanks!
Thank you! I'm relatively new to large focus stacks and still learning. The flash I use is the Godox v350o and it has a lithium ion battery allowing it to fire away several shots without a problem. I use automatic focus bracketing which is where the camera automatically turns the focus ring for me while taking photos. I then stack them in Zerene stacker. There are a couple videos on my channel that go into this in more detail. But will for sure make more videos on my settings soon
All the equipment I use is linked in the description. My setup is slightly different now compared to what you see in this video. If you go on one of my recent macro videos, such as '10 Minutes Of Early Morning Macro Photography', I'll have all my current gear linked in the description. But I still own the setup in this video and it is great!
I stay very still and use automatic focus bracketing which is basically where my camera turns the focus ring for me while taking images. I then have several frames which I can focus stack in Zerene Stacker later on
did you use flash for a spider that you focustacked with canon 90d, i am using that and i cant figure it out how to set up the flash with focus bracketing. if you know how please help 🤗
Yes I did. Make sure silent shutter is off and set the flash to manual. I'm not sure about the bracketing mode on the Canon menus but I'm sure there is a tutorial out there.
@@kennyk4134 Small working distance can be annoying. The m50 is a good camera. Only main difference between that and the Olympus is that Olympus has automatic focus bracketing and image stabilisation.

Very nice video. I have the Olympus 60mm macro lens with the Raynox 150, but the Raynox is too big to fit on the 60mm. How do you fit your Raynox 250 to your 60mm lens please?
@@JamieSpensley thanks for getting back to me. I noticed that the thread of my Raynox 150 is 43mm. The lens is 46mm. So I have just ordered a 46mm to 43mm step down ring. I can then screw the Raynox in direct, without th he spring thingy ( I hope). I like your work btw.
Just stumbled across your channel,very impressive indeed..I have an E-M1 Mk 1 and have just got an fully manual speedlight that will go down to 1/64 and maintain fast burst for a few seconds.. out of curiosity,what lenses do you use for your macro,and is there 1 you would recommend for a beginner to it ?
Thanks! I always use the Olympus 60mm. For a beginner, the Pergear 60mm f/2.8 MK2 is amazing for its price and offers more magnification than the Olympus 60mm.

Great video! I notice when you're shooting a stack, your flash fires quickly at first and then slows, presumably b/c the recycle time starts to go up for the V350 and not b/c of you releasing the exposure button and then pressing again. Do you know if the OM/Olympus branded flash (700WR) can fire a faster, longer series? (more costly though of course )
Thank you! The recycle time is amazing on this flash. I can shoot thousands of images without it firing a blank. The only time I've had a problem is when I took hundreds of images one after the other and my flash overheated. But apart from that I would recommend

noob question... why do you need to image stack? is it for resolution? how could the flash sync so many times?

How come your flash flashes so many times in sequence? On my Nikon, it flashes a maximum of three times in a row and then loses power.
I use 1/32 to 1/64 power most of the time and the flash has a lithium ion battery so it can last a lot longer then AA batteries for example
Me encantan tus videos, podrias decirme los parametros que usas en el flash, modo manual, ttl o multi, gracias.
Thank you! I use manual mode on the flash and I typically use a flash power between 1/16 and 1/64.
can somebody explain what is 35,50etc image stack?
The depth of field is very thin so I have stacked several images with a different focus point to make the depth of field a lot larger
Do you always stack your own or let camera do it with stacking feature?
Manually stack in Zerene Stacker
