I love your videos so much. Thanks for sharing, Liesl!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much for the nice comment :D

Another inspiring video. There is so much in the world about us that we ignore. You are teaching us to wonder and to see which is a great gift. Thank you and keep up the good work. Just going to put on my macro lens and go out into the garden!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks, David! I'm glad you find these useful, and I hope you've been able to get out and get some nice pictures :)

[@mariannetm]

Well done!

[@jeffogden6060]

Nice one Liesl. You are quite skilled at finding everyday objects and making them into interesting photos. Soda bubbles indoors in the summer--perfect! Cheers, Jeff

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks Jeff! I've been wanting to try cola through a glass again for a long time, it was fun! :)

[@SassePhoto]

Very well done! Bubbles and water are my favorites - the patterns are mesmerizing

[@LieslHuddleston]

Yes! Anything with water is loads of fun. Thank you!

Hey....the background music so nice where can I get it???

[@LieslHuddleston]

I get all the music licensed through "Musicbed" Songs in this one are: “Good to Be Alive” by Noble Heart “The Good Life” by Summer Kennedy

I always wanted to try macro photography but the lack of info or the very technical things in the videos of youtube made me a little bored and uninspired. Today I was watching Irene Rudnik, she made a video about experimenting macro photography and she said that she got inspired by you and I just went to your channel because FINALLY someone that does macro with such a passion and shows it! And not just photos and talk and talk about that picture 😅 I have done some macro photos with my phone because I can’t afford a macro lens but this is great, that you show how to in a phone too! Where did you get you phone macro lenses? I had mine from Wish 😂 Thank you for sharing your work with us ❤️

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thank you for your very nice comments, I'm so glad you're enjoying these videos. I'm using macro lenses for my phone made by the company "Moment" and also by "Olloclip" but just like with big DSLR cameras, you don't have to use the most expensive gear to have fun with photography. In fact having the challenge of using a cheaper lens or camera can help you to focus the most on your creativity and the composition of your image, which are both the two most important things. Keep saving up and some day you can get the lens you really want :-) but until then, enjoy experimenting with what you have and some of these early images will remain your favorites all your life, because it's the joy of the experience of seeing and connecting with your subject that creates the best memories.

@@LieslHuddleston THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

I found your Account and I'm a fan now!!! Love and Greetings from Germany

[@LieslHuddleston]

Happy to have you here, Annika! Thanks for following :D

[@JohnGreenwoodPhotography]

Some stunning images there Liesl. It's impressive how many good photos you got from a glass of coke. At first I thought it was an advert. Good stuff.

[@LieslHuddleston]

I got carried away with that glass of coke haha! It was meant to be a small part of a larger video with lots of subjects, these two took too long, so I think the next one will be several more items but in quick succession. Maybe ? Videos never seem to turn out the way I picture in my mind LOL Thanks for the comment :) Have a great weekend!

[@TheMoodyPhotographer]

Hahaha amazing, that let me just want to drink Pepsi now 😄

[@LieslHuddleston]

John, in another comment here, said it almost looked like an advertisement. I guess he was right haha!

[@RachelLerch]

Beautiful Liesl!! Well done 👍

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks Rachel! I hope you're having a great summer!

[@YabannPenceresi]

Really good :) thanks for sharing

[@CliftonTicehurst]

You’re such an inspiration Liesl, I just love the way you find your subjects and then turn them into beautiful pieces of art 👏🙂 Thank you for sharing it with us. Cliff

[@LieslHuddleston]

Hi Cliff! Thank you so much. I've been stuck indoors so much, it's been fun finding things to photograph inside, now I just need to get around to editing the videos ha! Looking forward to seeing your next one :D

[@CliftonTicehurst]

I hope you’re feeling better soon 🙂

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks! Almost there :D

[@joyceyang6976]

Very creative Liesl, the bubbles seem very happy with your music! :) I was a little worried how to spend the summer if the pools are still not allowed to open... Thanks for the great ideas, I'll try to experiment it in the hot hot summer! 💕

[@LieslHuddleston]

It has been a strange time, skipping over spring and now a summer with restrictions. I hope you can find some fun things to photograph indoors and outdoors :)

[@LieslHuddleston]

Please excuse the croaky (end of summer cold) voice :D

[@oneshotguy.]

u got skills!!!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks! Lots of practice and lots of fun :)

[@FabrizioZago]

The photos of the melting ice in the coke are really nice. Interesting channel!

[@LieslHuddleston]

Thanks so much :)

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

Are you originally from South Africa? Just curious. 😊

[@LieslHuddleston]

Yes, grew up in the JHB area, moved to the US 26 years ago :)

[@RoyBlackwell]

Is that a Moment lens on your smartphone? I have been considering buying some Moment lenses for my phone.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Yes! Some of the photos and video are with the Moment macro lens and others with Olloclip and a few with DSLR & 100mm macro. All (except the first 2 photos) have small text above the top left of the photo saying which lens was used. Let me know if you think that text is too small to read, I'll try to do it differently in my next video :)

[@RoyBlackwell]

@@LieslHuddleston Ah, did not notice that lens info the first time I viewed. Might be hard to view if using a smartphone to view the video.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Good point! I'll definitely make the text larger next time. Thanks!
