@Adaptalux5 жыл бұрын
There are indeed many other effective ways to do this kind of shot including placing coloured objects under the oil as you do! We definitely found that having an actual light source under the oil makes the kinds of smooth colours you see here much easier to achieve. There are countless objects we haven't tried though, would love to see some of your results if you have them? Ps. Do check out some of our other videos before you write it off as something less than it is. This is just one of the hundreds of ways to use the Studio, many of which would not be easy to achieve without the features of a dedicated macro lighting setup like this.

I was just wondering if I could get your opinion on this tri pod. Regards Kevin from Scunthorpe.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the kind words, glad you are enjoying the videos and finding them useful! The Novoflex is a solid tripod, great construction and materials and the ball head is extremely useful and sturdy compared to others. Only thing missing is a vertical adjustment rail of some sort. If you want to tweak the height of the camera, you have to reposition the legs, which can be frustrating.

Hey Pedro, our next video will be using the UV arms, and check out the recent Lego Noir video to see some lasers! We mostly use our 90mm Tamron lens for macro work. We used it in this video but it broke shortly after which is a real shame as it was a classic old school lens. With oil and water its pretty easy to use a non-macro lens, just crop your pics down a bit afterwards to capture the best bubbles in your shots!

A very helpful and informative video! I don't seem to have the right camera, unfortunately. I have a Canon EOS T7i with an 18-55mm zoom lens and a Vivitar 2x macro lens attached to that. It's impossible to zoom in close enough to get those lovely, round bubbles and the camera won't focus on the few bubbles that do appear--there's no extra zoom dial on my camera which is much more basic than yours. I guess I'll have to wait until I can afford a real macro lens before I can expect good results with oil and water. I did try dish soap in a bottle, as demo'd in another of your videos and also had disappointing results with that.

So I tried this and couldn't get it to work. I had a glass dish, my phone, oil and water. I got two boxes the same size and placed the dish onto them, filled with water and some oil. Placed my phone underneath the dish and put on a multicoloured background. I tried with and without flash, without flash it was black and with flash all I got was just water with the oil bubbles, zero colour coming from underneath. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am new to macro.

Sounds like you need to change your exposure settings to the brightness of your phone. Flash would just eliminate the colour from the screen, and on camera flash wouldn't work at all as you need to be lighting the background more than the oil.
