Hey buddy, enjoyed your webinar with Glyn earlier. I'm glad I've come across your work and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers 🍻 Ian

[@StewartWoodArt]

Thank you Ian, more to come next year :)

[@johnsmith-lb4mo]

With the oil on water shoot you will never get the same shot twice 😋

[@mdturnerinoz]

I posit this is also a set of ideas for older photographers who cannot get out as much as they used to. you might suggest more along those needs as well. Many of us out here love your channel but are not able to get out like we used to. Thanks for these ideas too!

[@michelpastor4131]

Merci pour la vidéo et les conseils.

[@fingerstylefan]

Thank you Stewart for this video. It,s also not about just because there are no insects. It,s about being versatile in your photography and not just doing the same thing all the time.

[@StewartWoodArt]

Well said!

[@johnpollock6996]

Great ideas Stewart. I have been shooting a steel spring (about 1 1/4" diameter X 6") from different angles, shadows, gels on MF-12 flashes, etc. These were inspired by a similar video you did in the past. Thanks for all your cool suggestions.

[@1kwords]

I giggled when you showed the fork and called it a knife and the knife and called it a fork. Funny.

[@gary.kenyon]

Great video and fab shots. What rib lights would you recommend. Nothing too expensive but good enough for the job.

[@johnsmith-lb4mo]

I have tried the oil on water shots and although intriguing there is a lot of work to be done post shoot with getting rid of the tiny bubbles and dirt marks that get captured, i'm going to have a go at the feather shots next 🙂

[@mrwates]

Some excellent & simple ideas thanks :)

[@user-if9gq9et6z]

Great ideas that i wont to try out. Just one thing did you have plain paper over the glass sheet before you put the shaped folded pieces on top???
Thanks
Gary

[@StewartWoodArt]

Yes it was just plain paper.

[@user-if9gq9et6z]

Thank you @@StewartWoodArt

[@MadDogGiraffe]

Hi Start, great video 👍. I was watching it earlier and it disappeared; did you recall it and re post?
