Did I take my Best Macro Photo Ever? - Macro Walks ep2

[@glennhunt3595]

For such a young chap you certainly have a very in depth knowledge of your subjects a very interesting video very much look forward to more of your work. 👍

[@nicoschroeder5379]

Yeah but he should really stop rolling tree stumps forth and back with living creatures under it. Thats the most effective way to crush every living being that is bigger as a bug. Try to lift it straight up or better, leave sleeping or resting(hibernation etc.) alone until they can handle themselves again.

[@aaabbb-py5xd]

Why am I looking at bugs... I don't even like insects 😂

[@sheridanvincent]

Exceptionally well produced and you are inspirational to get out shooting like you do. The take-off photo is fabulous. I look forward to continue following your enjoyment of nature and photography!

[@MicaelWidell]

I really enjoy your videos. Your last video inspired me to look under bark of dead trees, which I have never really tried, despite doing macro for 7 years. So I tried that the other day and found so many interesting insects :)

[@naturefold]

Thank you Micael, I'm looking forward to seeing what you found!

[@d.k.1394]

Hi Michael 😅😅😅

[@d.k.1394]

He has a different approach to macro than u. U both offer somthing different. Hi from aussie 😊

[@DavidCelaya]

Outdoors Micael! :)

[@Couldyoubeanymoreignorant]

My favorite part was the end of the video, when you got distracted by a Damselfly in the middle of your wrap up. A reaction that shows your dedication to the craft. Oooh, a Damselfly...

[@cloudpandarism2627]

cheers mate. because of your channel i threw an old macro front adapter lens on my RF100-400 and went out to a local park these days to check every tree i could get close. and i actually found the most insane looking alien bug i ever saw in my life. its called LONGANG LANTERNFLY 😮 i tried handholding some stacks without flash but he was a fast fella. and we slowly went in circles around that tree where i tried to keep him in frame long enough for a stack. what an insane looking thing! 😂 thanks for sparking my interest for macro again. cheers from china

[@tacsci]

I have followed you on IG for a while but just "found" your KZbin channel. These are incredibly well made videos. Keep up the incredibly inspiring content.

[@jonkneeland]

Awesome video once again! Thanks for clarifying the focus stacking and how you take these beautiful pictures!

[@cheekbone4554]

From Australia, just letting you know i casually shoot film and you came up as a recommendation! Subscribed :)

[@masterbaiter327]

Great video. Not going to lie, I've became really interested into starting macro because of one of your videos. I've watched tons of videos about macro. Most of them were done by generic type of photography KZbinr with sterile background office and reading the general script. You, on the other hand, made it so basic and down to earth, while making incredible photos. Good job!

[@louisciffer3268]

Great channel, thank you from southwestern France

[@NotSoGoodGamingTV]

Ever? Nein! Bis jetzt! Wie immer super und weiter so.

[@tull777]

You never disappoint! Your photos are truly amazing! Thank you for sharing.

[@interestings7866]

Amazing video! So relaxing and beautiful images you captured what a fun hobby

[@brokensaint]

Perfect marriage of science, nature's artistry, authentic enthusiasm, and your dad's gorgeous music. Bravo!!!

[@TiffanyLamp-wz6wk]

I have been sharing your channel with everyone i can find. Your videos are great. Lots of explanations, you show the final pictures, and honestly you are a great photographer. I would love to see a video where you break down the software you use in post and your work flow, also what settings you are using on your camera. I keep having trouble with focus stacking, you make it look so easy. Keep it up!!!

[@naturefold]

Thank you so much! I'm working on a series of videos going into detail on my stacking process and the editing side as well.

[@natureliker-ww4jo]

Wow, thank you for Posting. Very nice video. I have enjoyed it very much. GReat Photos, calm voice and a bunch to learn. Again, thank you!

[@Timeless-Photography]

Ooo there's a damselfly over there hold on a second... Tktktktktk I love the energy definitely my favorite macro photographer!! Very nice calm videos very knowledgeable, and I've learned a couple things about how to shoot macro just from watching your videos! Keep it up glad to be subscribed!

[@SuperMacGyver1]

Great images you produce!! Many thanks for the hint with moving the camera forwards while shooting in burst mode. Will try this as my Sony A7R does not support focus bracketing either. That was a really good tip. Have fun.

[@MorganKejerhag]

Thanks for explaining how you do it! Amazing photos!

[@OneEyedDronie]

New to your channel, but after shooting photo's for longer than you have been alive, I have no idea at all how you are shooting so many shots with a flash.. non... bravo for being as clever as you are!

[@fotiss8883]

I really enjoy your videos man. Keep up the good work! You are doing great!

[@michaeldelola9086]

You are a wunderkind! Excellent photos, explanations and techniques.

[@wolfhja8734]

Excellent !! Keep on!

[@Angels-3xist]

The setup and the results are absolutely brilliant. Very stunning and professional work. You have a bright future in nature documentation. Your knowledge and skill is already at a very high level.

[@tonyknight3454]

I am so glad I found your channel. It is without doubt the best I have seen. Well done young man and please keep the videos coming

[@jimwilson542]

Really enjoyable and fantastic photographs thank you .

[@oliround]

The moment you realize you found a channel before, it becomes a mega channel. Beautiful work. Like an acorn that is just falling into the ground

[@KalleFlodin]

Loved this little walk with you, keep it up! 😊 That shot was truly amazing!

[@runenjd6193]

I’ve seen hundreds of macro videos on KZbin. Honestly I think your work is ‘next level’. Looking forward to see more from you.

[@PaulWhiteGoldEagle]

Very nice macro photography brother!

[@jeremyrebelka]

Great shots - keep up the good work !!!

[@shapomacro]

Your color in the photos is incredible!

[@rockfilm]

Great insides. Thank you. Fantastic photos!

[@ManShed]

Learned a lot! Thank you

[@gailrowley6654]

Thank you for your absolutely superb macro photo walk! Much appreciation from Ozark Stream Photography lady (always captured by our natural world.)

[@DeltaLimaActual-t2o]

Your accomplishment as a macro photographer and your skill as a teacher are admirable. You need to get some Wellies for more wet adventures. I have always enjoyed Entomology. Tiger Beetles, Fireflies, Cicadas, and Cicada Killers were abundant (and much more) in the verdant deciduous forests where I grew up. Much older now and a landscape photographer, you renewed my interest and got me interested in macro. Thank you.

[@Divaza08]

Thank you very much. You opened my eyes to this beautifull world of insects with your amazing technique.

[@MattMarcio]

Macro photography and a walk in nature is the best therapy for me, and your videos are making me feel good almost like a cinematic feeling.

[@gorRe79]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, this thought me a lot as a beginner macro photography enthusiast.

[@liamkooyman4668]

I didnt think I was going to enjoy this kind of video as much as I did. Well done sir. That was really enjoyable to watch.

[@bouganim]

Really great and interesting shots. Love your passion and patience for the details. 👍

[@pirminmue]

Really Amazing Video ! Thanks a lot for uploading. The quality of the video and especially your pictures is so good ! I use a xt200 since a few years with extension tubes and a super old but good canon lens. Thinking of upgrafing to the laowa 65mm I think for the money spent you really open up a whole new level in macro photography

[@MinnowTank]

Absolutely loving your videos and energy! Can’t wait to see more!

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Awesome, relaxing video. You’re very well spoken so easy to listen to while being fascinated with the photos you’re producing.

[@richardlewis9868]

fabulous macro images, how do you keep the flash going with so many busts, looking forward to your next video.

[@fototripper]

This could almost get me into macro photography...

[@cryptowill1611]

Amazing as always 🤩 The last shots of the take-off are just exceptional and so hard to get ! The fact that you can walk wearing a tee-shirt means warmer days incoming with a lot more insects to look for. I wish you (and all of us) wonderful moments searching and finding them 🙏 Your community is growing and that's well deserved. You are talented and yet simple with what you do. Keep working hard and have fun !

[@albe2002]

You are the best young macro photographer I've ever seen (and probably the first) but I'd like you talk about the macro videography because I like it and I find few content on KZbin!

[@miguelmpg]

Stumbled upon your channel in my recommended and I'm glad it happened. You seem very passionate with what you do and it's refreshing to see! I wish you nothing but happiness and success!! Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@Pivotstickification]

Thanks youtube for recommending me one of your videos! One can really feel the passion you've got for photography when watching your videos - it's also such a calm and relaxing mood in the style of editing. Consider me a fan :)

[@wvxiw]

Accidentally got this video recommended for me, started watching and made it till the very end. What a soothing and interesting content! Those macro world is mesmerizing!

[@musiqueetmontagne]

The likes are growing nicely, good job. The photo of the beetle about to take off, with it's wing cases up, is fabulous. Cool stuff Alexis...

[@lvcc560]

Your focus bracketing technique is really cool! Great video, absolutely love the shot of the newt and the pseudo scorp!

[@Gronvoll]

Great video, I need to try out some insects macro shots. I will definitely follow your videos more to learn more about this.

[@TillDeathDoIGame]

You came up in my feed so I had to check this out, I really like the way you've made your video. It's educational while still very capturing. Macro photography has always seemed very cool to me and it seems like you really like doing it. I love the way that you capture all of the smaller worlds that surround us everyday. It really puts things into perspective that there is so much more out there than what usually meets the eye. Keep up the great work man and don't lose your passion. It's a wonderful thing you're doing :)

[@newtuber4freedom43]

Wonderful - so glad Micael Widel recommended your channel - I appreciate your respect of all the creatures. Lovely images! ☮️💟

[@yellowstonenaturerc8518]

Wow! Your photography is amazing ... your videos are also amazing. Thank you for sharing and exciting many of us to look beyond the obvious.

[@coryabes9394]

GREAT WORK! Liked and SUBBED! I do macro photography my self but your work is just amazing! I will follow your work for sure! Thanks

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

I'm impressed with your manual focus bracketing shots and technique -- very steady! Also, good that the flash manages to keep up with that. It must have a very fast cycle time.

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Nice technique with a great camera and very good lens. Your photos rock !

[@gopfman9385]

Great video! I'm fascinated by the photos - keep up the excellent work

[@brainreconnecting]

This was the most calming video I have ever seen. Well done

[@ronaldbuitendijkfotografie]

Amazing video and learning about new species as well. Love it! And I have a lot to learn

[@christo256]

Well done young man, if only more people your age were like you. Great photos!

[@Trish12303]

Great video!! Amazing shots as well!!

[@TheSquall1525]

Great video! I really liked seeing all the information you provided about each photo. Image stacking is something I haven't heard of before.

[@mikkiscott9995]

I just found your channel while watching Micael Widell's video. Now I have two awesome macro photographers to watch. I really enjoy your videos, you are knowledgeable, talented, and are a pleasure to watch. I subscribed too.

[@markembling]

Wow, I’d never have thought of focus stacking by actually moving the camera like that. Not sure my hand is steady enough for it to work. Look forward to learning more about your process. Great stuff 👍

[@ioiocman]

I am starting my photograph journey and trying to find what I want to do, yesterday I manage to shot a bee about to go to a flower and I was lucky enough to have a good focus point, it was so exciting to get, so I think I'll get into macro photography! I really liked your video, you are very calm and passionate, it is almost meditative to watch, I like that!

[@katisunstudio]

Wow, your photographs are stunning and your video was interesting and relaxing, I look forward to watching more of your content 🪲

[@wilfredotour3]

Man you’re good! Beautiful work!

[@hansjmo]

you really reinspired me for macro again, beautiful shots!!

[@tomasbordi362]

Awesome work! You will be big!

[@clausgiloi6036]

Great video! Congratulations on that awesome takeoff photo.

[@AccessiblePhotography]

Hey there Alexis, Alastair here. I just found this video and your channel and subbed straight away. My jaw dropped at 5:28 when you explained how you focus stack! Great tip to give us. I do plan on doing more macro this year but I doubt I will find scorpions under logs here in Scotland ;-) Really enjoyed your video. Nicely filmed and edited. The narration is good, set at a nice pace and easy to listen to. Your promised photo stacking video is much anticipated.

[@philxdev]

outstanding format... really really good narration and production quality.

[@MrRandallDish]

Thanks for the tip on how you shoot for stacking 👌

[@douglasmulcahy1778]

Great catch of the Longhorn about to take flight !!

[@waltpierluissi2301]

Hello Alexis, my name is Walt and compare to you I am antique!~!!! I am 65 yrs but I really love Macro Photography, I have a Nikon Z50 with the Loawa 65mm F2.8 and an AK Diffuser.... I am impressed with your shots and specially with you knowledge and handling Focus Stacks.... Great Job Kid, great Job!!!!!

[@raminolta]

The shot of the beetle taking off is a rare success. Great work and accomplishment. My Laowa 24mm probe lens is also a manual focus lens. I am going to try your focus bracketing technique with it. Hope it works well though I don't particularly have steady hands.

[@naturefold]

I would love to try the laowa probe, I imagine you could get some very unique perspectives with it. At wide angles focus stacking usually isn't as necessary but seems worth a try for sure

[@raminolta]

@@naturefold I was out of town on camping this weekend and tried your focus stacking method. I will see how it turns out.

[@danatkinson1517]

Just discovered your account, thanks to Micael Widell mentioning you on his channel. Great content and I absolutely love the shot of the newt and the pseudoscorpion. In my ten years of macro, I still have yet to nail a beetle taking off, so congratulations, awesome shot!

[@lilianamonetti7451]

Awesome video and pictures, thanks!

[@rinderkappajoe]

Great Job dude, very nice video, calm music, I enjoyed it! :)

[@alanbarlow8966]

Great video and beautiful images. Keep it up. I live in England and the weather is still quite cool so insect activity is poor at the moment.

[@Swaggerlot]

I found that your last video was most interesting because of your observational and photographic skills, without too much focus on the hardware brand like so many YT'ers. You almost manage to do the same again here.

[@hermanmunster4949]

Outstanding...!

[@G.CurtFiedler]

Good stuff. Encourages me to try this with my Fuji set up. BTW, those look like eft phases of the newts.

[@spencerrobertson604]

Nice video. I liked the single frame photo at the end.

[@rhalfik]

Wow. Fantastic shots.

[@jimpchip]

These are absolutely great photos.

[@austinwilson3]

Wow, I never knew I needed a channel like this. If you haven’t won awards for your photos yet, you seriously need to enter them into competitions. I’ll definitely be following along on your channel from now on 👍

[@CreatureFeatures3]

Fantastic work! Nice clean video on your narration parts. What are you using to shoot that?

[@criko3d]

Wow that’s a beautiful shot you got there!, nearly perfection!!, way to go!, you got a new subscriber!!

[@LU1VJK]

Hermosas imágenes! Gran trabajo. Saludos desde Bariloche, Patagonia Argentina.

[@AndyBetterBugs]

The pseudoscorpion and the newt together is such an awesome scene and what a find! Just found your channel. Really enjoyed this video! Keep it up :)

[@schmoddd]

Finally, naturefold on youtube. Looking forward to your awesome content!!

[@hjones451]

You've certainly caught 'The Bug' for macro photography - Well done, young man!

[@paraboko]

really enjoyable! keep up the great work

[@Magni_MacroOG]

That damselfly end is so true, everything just dropped 🤣 Amazing shots, each and every one of them! The takeoff shot is truly spectacular! My favorite ones were the newt shots, as they show so much about their winter habitat too 😁 Another incredible video, I learn so much from you!!

[@naturefold]

Thank you so much!

[@Paulus449]

super photo, very inspirational!
