Great tips

Hi Liesl, can u explain what tweaks and what for on you're custom picture style at 1.22 . I like to shoot macro low & high magnification. I use second hand eos m6 mk i, ef-m 22mm, raynox 250, mk320 flash, diy diffuser. I shoot raw + jpeg, mostly use jpeg and lr mobile. Thank you.. oh i forgot that i already have technicolor cinestyle in my custom picture style

I stopped watching at "Then i stacked them together in Photoshop..."

We still miss you and your videos, hope everything ok with you

I like image from this Len. Beautiful

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching that..

Amazing tutorial. Just found your channel. Thanks a lot... Subscribed. ❤

6:44 "This makes no difference at all to the quality of the images. The dust does not seem to show up as far as I can tell". This is quite a leap in logic. Dust definitely lowers the quality, you just don't have a method of testing it. IF the dust is not in focus, then it lowers the light transmission and contrast. It may not be obvious, but that's only because you didn't compare the results to a clean copy of the lens.

Cool ideas thanks 🎉

great work and thanks for your learning

Love it...

Really enjoyed watching this video, very relaxed and informative. Love it..

Mam i would like to share my nature photos with you, please give your contact .

Im very much interested in flower photography. I have a collection but how can approach the competion or marketing?

I love your macro videos, your images are so beautiful and inspiring .I love the quiet ,unhurried way you explain the processes you are using in a clear ,easy way to follow, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us Liesl.

Beautiful video and beautiful music. Thank you!

thanks for the video. I am basically macro photographer with Olympus and all accessories, now I am looking for a macro lens for the mobile and that one seems very good

PLEASE make more videos

Im so glad I found you, You are so inspirational

I COULD WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL DAY LONG. They are beautiful and have a calming effective while educational. Bless you.

Hi how do you get the creamy backgrounds. I know we can have the lens wide open. But a lot of times the background is still not blurry enough. Do you have any videos that shows how to edit photos?thanks mal

I really enjoyed this approach especially after spending soooo much time on focus stacking. What a marvelous idea!

Hi, I have a canon 100mm Macro f2.8 i found that the background is not as blurry as i hoped, even though the aperature is wide open. i blurrs but the background isnt that blurred.dont know quite why that is.

Ex Saffa ?

I love the techniques and the voice is so calming that goes pretty well with the background music ❤️❤️❤️

Ohh we miss you so much

Thanks so much, Liesl. You really inspired me to see better the Brasilian insects species!

Lovely video!!

Simply beautiful.....your work is so Inspiring! Thanks for sharing. ❤

no dISCOUNT WAS GIVEN WITH YOUR CODE

Found your channel recently and I am grateful for your narrated videos. I will eventually get a macro lens, but for now want to be able to photograph flowers with my kit lens. Your video provides very good tips.

Lovely video and music xx

Lovely video, music and tips xx

I dont know much about lenses. Moment wasnt available in my country so I ordered a Kodak 15x Macro lens instead. Is Kodak good? The only other option was a Chinese brand that I have never heard of before.

I've recently been photographing some of our flowering dogwoods. This video inspired me and gave me some ideas. I wonder how you pan so smoothly in the video footage of the trees.

Does a DSLR do a better job at capturing the whole macro subject in focus (such as the whole ladybug) instead of just part of it?

you have a great eye for both photography and videography.

❤❤❤

Fantastic

This video is so helpful! I never had an idea to use a piece of paper and cling film to roll up around the lens for creating dreamy floral imagery. Thank you very much for sharing. Have a lovely day my dear friend! 🥰

Beautiful work!

Wonderful and really enjoyed that. Thank you.

Is that a South African accent? I haven't been back in years so might be mistaken. Nice photos, I like how you explain dealing with the background issues.

Super video krásně a přirozeně vysvětlená kompozice a fotografování makra. Škoda, že nepokračujete v dalších dílech na tomto kanálu.

Spring should be arriving down there. I hope you get out and have fun doing spring time photography and videos.

Hi Liesl - Thank you for your video. I am trying to take my flower photos to the next level, and I think your tutorial will be helpful. In particular, the pace of the video (not too fast!) made the steps relatively easy for me to follow. I also appreciated that in addition to explaining the steps you were taking, you also discuss the look you are trying to achieve. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

Some great idea's here and can be done without expensive gear...thankyou.

When I see your videos it makes me wish I was in Texas and not the UK. What an inspiration you are! A very gentle and very instructional video full of expertise. Last year sadly I had to sell my Canon gear and Sigma 100mm f2.8 due to eyesight issues. However even with one eye which is recuperating I am going to learn again how to do this genre of photography with my Panasonic FZ1000 Mk1 and I phone 13 pro max. Thanks very much for posting your videos.

Well Leisl spring will be forthcoming. Seeing your video, and others that you do are so inspirational. You just bring that sense of calmness in showing us wonderfully the measure of God’s creation as captured in your photography. I have done some photography like yours and would like to share a few with you if it were possible. I am now 80 years of age and have sold my Canon and Sigma gear as carrying weight was becoming an issue. Now I rely on my Panasonic FZ1000 MK 1 and whilst it is not as good as the Sony RX10 MK4 it is amazing what shots can be had by keeping to a fixed length focus and using Intelligent AF. I also have an I phone 13 pro max which will be of good use as well this year. Thanks again for your videos. Keep them coming. David

Awesome ❤ video
