Do you have any videos that use natural lighting?

Awesome information am definitely try to replicate it ans learn it but i dont know how to give you the credit 😥 as there is no social media handle

That tripod comes with the arm that bends over the rake like that?

👍

Good to see you again Ray. Enjoyed this video.

How do you flatten your leaves out. Thank you

Thanks Ray. Great subject, great video.

Nice you are back! Interesting to share your thoughts and ideas.

Always pleased to see a notification for one of your videos.

Thanks for talking it through!

Thanks Ray!! Good to see your videos again.

Waiting since long for your vedios

The Canon Life-Size Converter EF is exclusive to the Canon 50mm F2.5 Macro? did you use it on the 100mm?

Nice video Ray

Very nice. I really like this tuturial and it inspires me to try macroing my instruments. I have a guitar, some violins, trumpets, trombone, flutes and others.

The amount of views this channel manages to have despite the great content is proof of how ridiculously KZbin' algorithm works.

Hi Ray, hope you're keeping well? I did exactly the same thing you've done here, except that I didn't use a lightbox, I just used a spot light. It had pretty much the same effect though. Very enjoyable. I thought the veins in the leaves almost look like veins and capillaries in the human body!

Hey Ray. Good see you. Great job

What continuous light source are you using?

Nice video Ray! Hope you are doing well.

Great idea Ray! Thanks so much for sharing.

Cool stuff! Thanks!

Nice one Ray

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

A big help for me, thank you.

Good to see you Ray. I hope that you've been well

Welcome back. Sedum spectabile is the UK equivalent. A great plant for autumn butterflies, too.

So glad you are back! I love taking macro photos and love watching your videos!!

I have a few sedums in my yard. I started with one and discovered accidentally they're really easy to propogate. I accidentally broke off a tiny stalk at the base early in the season, and just stuck it in the ground nearby, and it survived. It'll be larger next year. Last year I cut stems in bloom to use as cut flowers and just left them in the vase after they finished because they looked kinda cool. I decided a few months later to get rid of them and noticed they had little root buds, so I left them until thise spring and stuck them in the ground. Now I have a staggered line of four. As the three new ones catch up to the old I'll have a different character of layout possibilities to photograph. A variety of bees really love them, landing and just camping out on them for a while, making them an additional fun macro subject! I also really like the "shaft of light" idea. Thanks!

Well, I wasn't disappointed at all in the treatment you gave to these beautiful flowers. Actually I had never even heard or seen these flowers before. But, as usual, you have given me inspiration, as you always do, to get out my macro lens and see what I can do with the few remaining flowers in my yard. It will maybe be tomorrow as it is raining heavily today. Thank you, Ray, for stirring my imagination. Joan

Thank you and great to see you again!

Great to see you and your videos again!👍👍👍

Great to have you back along with your superb contenr

Cool flowers, shot well.

Welcome back glad to see you again. We are really missed you

Hi there, I'm subscribed to your channel, I think the other one too, but I had no notification ever. I get on this video just by luck (or mistake :-))). Nice to see you again.

A good reminder about being square on

Great to see you back! Was getting worried that you were ill. I always enjoy your videos and tips!

Again, excellent.....!

Ideas

Love these ideas...thank you! I plan to share this video link on our Macro Chat Live Show today :)

Hi Ray, I hope all is well with you ! Great video as always ! Even though I have been subscribed for sometime, I wasn’t get any notifications and than I did a little investigating and found that KZbin had changed the way the settings work. So I had into my settings and make some changes to get it right. So if you’re not getting as many people viewing, this maybe the reason.

When it is sunny outside do you have any suggestions on keeping the sun off the screen?

Hey Ray, I see your aperture setting, is there any others to know or is that set on Aperture Priority? Love your site. Great work
