How to use lighting to create dramatic abstract photos!

In this macro photography tutorial, we're using a single coloured light source to create dramatic effects on some macro shots of coiled wires. We're aiming for some creative abstract macro images that draw the eye and feel like something otherworldly!

excellent video Ben with a banal, atypical subject, and superb images in the end

[@Adaptalux]

I love the unexpected subjects the most... there's something about turning the mundane into something cool looking, I know it's something you enjoy too Patrick!

I liked the red and yellow which looked like lava! Great idea.

[@Adaptalux]

Thanks Chris, it does look like the lava glow from deep fissures or something!

Intriguing

[@Adaptalux]

Thanks!

Hey Ben, this looks AWESOME, the simplest object I love how it glows from the inside. I will definitely try this! 😁

[@Adaptalux]

Thanks! Definitely let us know how it goes, I think you will get some really cool shots!

Very interesting idea Ben. I especially liked the phone cable at the 10:13 mark. Has a sci-fi feeling to it.

[@Adaptalux]

Thanks Stephen, that's one of my faves too. I love that they all could be part of some alien spaceship... blue for Earth origin, green for the real aliens, and red for the rogue AI robots?

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

you are always coming up with great new ideas. Great video

[@Adaptalux]

Thanks! I just try to think about how light can interact with the everyday objects around us and it leads to some fun experiments!
