Godox MF-12 Macro Flash - Some field testing, mostly just having fun.

[@jplum7708]

Allan, you've got the best sense of humor! "Disturbing, not deliverance disturbing." I laughed so hard. Thanks! May you be well and continue making such great educational and entertaining episodes. I've learned an amazing amount from you. Thank you.

Another fine video Allan! After watching your GODOX Part 1, I impulsively and immediately ordered a pair on your recommendation - FANTASTIC! Works really well and so versatile. Tried a quick outdoor focus stack with Helicon Remote and processed in ZS. No complains at my end. Thanks again for your insightful and very knowledgeable videos - and the humour is pretty good too!

Thank you Allan! Watching from Russia. I'm very appreciate to your videos.

[@kyriadespoinaki5066]

I really love these field trip videos - thanks

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

Thank you! I love making them.

[@MichelleCox]

Loved it! This sort of video just virtually hanging out while someone goes out shooting macro is rapidly becoming my favorite. And I love your humor as well. Maybe get some video stabilization, though? Got a touch of vertigo watching that. LOL

Thank you thank you Allan! Finally I know where you find this bug. This year for some odd reason there weren't a lot of insects around here in Northern Illinois. They are probably moving out of the state like everybody else is, LOL. However we do have a lot of Goldenrod around here and next summer I will be looking for these.

What do you use for the diffuser and what materials do you use? Thanks in advance. Mahalo

[@jeffholmes1362]

I used an SEM in the lab, find it hard to believe one could be accurate at that size, very excited to see the review

[@FairfieldFogey]

You're welcome to come to Townsville, Queensland & we'll show you around!

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

You would never get me out of there, but they probably wouldn't let me in in the first place!

[@phila8226]

Can the Godox system be adapted to supplement the built in lighting on the electron microscope I’m going to win?

[@berthaduniverse]

Fun fun fun... Thanks Allan, great fun as usual. Viewer Request: Can you do a piece where you go into more detail how in post, you zoom-in on out-of-focus zoomed-in shots?

[@judywang8393]

Really enjoy the video.

[@ahmdkhaled2699]

Nice video Alan !! But what about the diffuser you made for your Mf 12 ? How to make one for mine ?

[@keeskraaijeveld4704]

I'm curious also.... :)

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

I will do a mini segment at the beginning of the next video to show you how to do it - I promise!

Thanks Allan, another excellent video. Tip: if the sun is in your eyes, bring your cap around forward 😂

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

It is a potentially good idea, and I've never actually thought about using the neck protector as a makeshift sun-visor, if you will. But how, exactly, would I be able to aim the camera if it was behind my head? Didn't think it all the way through, huh, Neil?

[@NeilW210]

@@AllanWallsPhotography Clearly not Allan, it's more complex than my initial assessment revealed. Isn't the scientific process wonderful?

[@berthaduniverse]

Allan, have you ever considered how things look in UV? Don't many insects visual spectrums reach into the UV?

[@GlennMartinez]

Simple amazing handheld macro field photography

[@fotonutzz]

Damn……I love your jokes!!!! "If I have 6 of these to giveaway, at least half of you watching this will win" 😂 There are more than 12 followers watching your video 😆

[@robertstonephoto]

I spit coffee all over my keyboard on that first remark!!! So funny!!!

[@sorrynotcyborg]

What a coincidence, I was looking at the mf12 lights last night, I'm looking at speedlights as my last resort because my 3 led video lights still somehow don't allow me to shoot at the lowest iso and high shutter speed ( to the human eye it is blinding but microscope objectives eat light like it grows on trees)

[@thomastuorto9929]

Photo at 11:55 = nice work.

[@ingolfkuntz3704]

What an entertaining and funny video, Allan! Amused I was watching it this morning. And I thanks for the warning … But … now is coming a little „but“ … But unfortunatly I can’t understand what you are warning of! ☹ Of course this is an embarrassing problem of myself. Because spoken English of native speakers sometimes is going too fast for me to understand everything correct I was watching minute 10:32 to 10:38 during the day at least 10 or 15 times and ask myself desperate what the hell could my friend Allan mean with „the flat look at that“??? I know, to explain a dense person (like me) a joke is terrible but would you give me a very little English lesson in this case? 😊

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

I am so sorry I left you confused - there was no special meaning. I was warning everyone that this review would not have much reviewing in it, and as I was typing "warning" I remembered that achtung was one of the three German words that I know. And from there it was a short step for me to wonder how my German friend was doing. So all your anxiety about my meaning was wasted - I was just saying hi!

[@michaelmckeag960]

Alan, your twin brother gave himself away the moment he introduced the Apexel clip on phone lens as an “electron microscope.” Time to change the locks on your studio :-).

[@MarcelloBranca]

nice 😃👍

[@karenneville9569]

Watching you 😊🤪😆….love your sense of humor! Walking anywhere..I think I could out-chatter you though…for sure! Would love a microscope! Hope you pick me to send one to. You are an excellent photographer….but the bug on the goldenrod video …was an exception…made me seasick! 🤷‍♀️😖

[@AllanWallsPhotography]

Thanks Karen and sorry about the nausea (I am well know for nauseating the females of our species), those phones are hard to keep steady. I have a gimbal - I should learn how to turn it on. One day.
