@@wolfamri Hi Amri, can I ask you? is it possible and effective to use Raynox 250 to the lense tamron 18-300mm for sony apsc zv-e10? btw the reason I bought this lense because its minimum object distance is so close that has magnification ratio 1:2 in 18mm and 1:4 in 300mm. I hope Raynox can add magnification to my lense. I also plan to use one godox v860 iii for lighting.

@@smileofdean yes, the 67mm filter of the tamron is the largest diameter it would fit. You might get a bit of vignetting.

Insect macro is my main photography focus, and after watching Lighting 101 (etc) I bought a Godox speedflash and a mini-softbox style diffuser, and it has made a world of difference in my shots. I don't really like these ones that wrap around the lens, though. They leave black lens-shaped circles in the insect eyes. Sometimes that looks cute, but for the most part, seeing the equipment in the shot is undesirable to me. If they made one that sat on top of the lens I'd have bought it, because the rigid front would be better than what I'm using.

Great review. I purchased my Popeshield a few months ago and have used it with both my Canon 180mm macro and MP-E65 and it’s produced great results. I have the pro kit which includes the roof. My only negative is that the design of some lenses like the MP-E 65 have an extendable barrel and it makes using the diffuser a bit annoying if/when switching magnification. If you are shooting fixed it’s not that big of a deal as the adjustments for focus are much smaller. On average I think the build is more suited for a 100mm-ish macro as my 180mm is almost to long. Full transparency I am shooting with an R5 so these EF lenses are adapted and a bit longer because of the RF to EF converter.

Great helpful video. I just sub'd. What do you think of the MF12 set up v. using a speed light for outdoor macro stuff - insects and flowers mostly? My first impression is that the MF12 adds a lot of complex plastic parts to the situation and unless the results are superior to using a diffused speed light I'm not inclined to add the complexity. I have in mind that with either solution there will be times that I will likely use an off camera flash together with the speedlight/MF12. My closest magnification will likely be 2:1.

In my experimentation, I took a canon flash and connected it to hotshoe cable and camera for TTL. I put a Velcro on defuser on the front of the flash and hand had the camera and flash, though tiring, I found it easy for run and gun to get from place to place and set up quickly. Next I tried my Godox Ad200, connected the defuser to the flash head for wireless which was easier to position the flash around the front of the lens. I also tried a bulb head using a reflector with grid to darken background when side lighting. I have always been told that on camera flash is bad and produces paparazzi effect and that side light was better for detail. I have been using this for flowers. I have yet to shoot insects but was considering this combination. Have you ever shot with off camera flash with defuser/reflector-grid?
@wolfamri2 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Rich. I did use a similar thing before. An Elinchrom ELB400 handheld with the regular reflector and diffusor in front next to the camera. Worked OK, but as you say rather tiring. For subjects that don’t move I even used it with a small softbox. I’ll post a macro tools comparison video on Sunday, where I used that to photograph a crab spider. So yes, it works. The beauty of the pope shield really is, that it’s such a no-brainer. It just works without even caring for the flash settings if you set the speedlight to TTL. And it’s so convenient. It’s still very different to regular on camera flash because it distributes the light so well, a bit like a beauty dish.

It‘s depth of focus in the field vs depth of focus on the sensor plane.

What is the difference between Depth of Focus (DoF and Depth of Field (DoF) The key difference between Depth of Focus and Depth of Field is that the former refers to the range of focus behind the camera lens. Depth of Field refers to the range of focus in front of the camera lens. Lots of diagrams online to illustrate what is meant by the terms, will help if readers are confused. As an interesting point, just to add to the terminology, many folks often use the term micro-photography, when in fact it means making large objects smaller, i.e landscape photography, a huge landscape is condensed to the size of the film format, 35mm for example. Photographing an A4 page document and making it as small as a dot. is also micro-photography. Easy to see how terminology can be confusing or used incorrectly. Happy photography, whatever branch interests you, there is a fascinating miniature world out there.

Thanks for the additional info, Shevill. But isn't that exactly what I said in my reply, just with different words? Depth of focus is the depth of focus on the sensor plane (which is behind the lens). It's directly related to the depth of field. Change the depth of field, and the depth of focus will change relative to the changes you made in the field. Photography is about the image that the light draws onto our sensor plane, so our goal is not the depth in the field, but the depth on our image taking plane - which is the sensor plane. If I would give definitive measures like 1mm, I would indeed have to address the difference. But if I'm talking about the depth of the area that is in focus on my image, I'm talking about depth of focus. I hope that makes sense. Since you have been into photography science, I'm always happy about a good discussion. If you find time and you would enjoy doing it, would you mind having a look at my new website exposure-triangle.com? I have tried to create a page with lots of info for everything related to exposure starting at beginner level and if you continue reading on every page, you will get to the more advanced areas. Since I want to make this the best possible source, I'd be happy to get some input from someone involved in photography science. Thanks again!

How about getting diffuser on the flash itself?
@wolfamri2 жыл бұрын
What counts is the relative size of the light source. The closer that is to the subject, the bigger and therefore softer the light will be. A diffuser on the flash itself isn’t as big and also not as close 😉.

Ok... I noticed that you "eliminate" ISO from the Exposure triangle. I have always argued that ISO has nothing to do with exposure in the sense that it has no effect on the amount of light the sensor is "exposed" to. The Exposure triangle should be more like an inverted "V" than a triangle with the ISO part deleted. I then took the next 45 minutes trying to explain it to my wife. I think she eventually gave up rather than understanding what I was saying (due to my inability to explain it -I am sure). Not sure if you agree with me the ISO is NOT part of the exposure but if you do can you do a video explaining it? If you think it is part of the exposure, then tell me to shut up LOL....

From my understanding, ISO is applied to the image during the conversion from an analog signal to a digital signal which takes place after the photo has been taken. I could be wrong on when it happens but I did know it happens after the photo is taken. Back in the film days the ISO was in the film you used. You had to plan ahead on what the lighting situation would be before you loaded the film. And since you couldn't change your ISO right in the middle of a roll if film, the exposure was left up to the shutter speed and aperture settings. That has not changed just because we're in the digital age. I set the shutter speed and aperture to what I need and then set the ISO I need.

Exactly. In digital age, ISO is nothing more than the gain.

Why do macro photo on a wasp? Seriously, it had stung you after taking the picture. I've been stung by wasps 3 times (one in a corn maze by runing by it, I helped a wasp getting unstuck and one got stuck in my pant's fold and when I got it free, it stung me). Courageous of you to take wasps in macro photo.
@wolfamri2 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😅. We have a lot of wasp nests in our garden. Mostly it's the European Paper Wasp - a non-aggressive type of wasps. They would only stung you if you get very close to their nest in a hurry. It happened twice in 6 years because one of their nest is in an old shoe and I passed it running past, so I deserved it 🤣. They will eat mosquitos, won't get to your table to eat your food and even keep the other more aggressive type away, which is VERY convenient. We try to educate all our neighbours in this regard because they are really useful. It was super nice of you to free the wasp. It can happen, but as long as you are not allergic, it's not a big deal. It hurts more to pull out nose hair 🤣. The one on the title image is one of the meaner wasps though. But still - if you don't move quick they won't hurt you. Same with Hornets: I freaked out when I first saw them in our garden (no nest though). Then I did some reading and they are totally calm. I even touched one incidentally once when harvesting grapes and it didn't care at all.

@@wolfamri I'm not allergic to wasps but while running in the maze, a girl that was there was very allergic to wasps and didn't even have her epipen on her. I saved her life by being stung. I did notice a bunch if mud wasps in Canada for a couple of years now and I haven't been styng by them, but they look very scary. Mud wasps have a longer body type and I've seen a black and yellow one and the blue metallic one so far. I'm not willing to test their agressivity levels in anyway.
@wolfamri2 жыл бұрын
To me it's their habit of keeping the more aggressive type away that is the big plus. Many people in our surrounding can't even eat relaxed outside because they have the common wasp that will constantly try to eat their food and get into their drinks. We don't have that at all. The only thing we need to do is share a few fruits from our trees and bushes with them. They are quite hungry in this regard 🤣. I just two days ago had one sitting on my naked arm to warm her body in the sun. I have to admit it wasn't the greatest feeling and I didn't quite know what to do. But I thought if I'll go into the shade with her she might try to find another place. Did it and off she went.

It's depth of field,not depth of focus.Depth of focus is the distance from sensor to rear lens element
@wolfamri2 жыл бұрын
Mike, theoretically it’s the depth of the area in focus on the sensor plane. Since the sensor plane is our target and 100% related to the depth in the field that is directly accountable to the depth of focus, both are equally correct as long as you don’t talk about specific distances. However, since beginners understand depth of focus much better than depth of field because it is more logical, I tend to use that term instead 😉.

Simply put, depth of field, is the plane of in focus theoritaclly ,in front of the lens .Wheras depth of focus is behind the lens which is the axial point at which the image forming light is in focus at the plane of the sensor or film if you will .But lets keep this our secret .😉😉

Each to their own, Bradd. I’ve used three studio flashes with large softboxes for bees in lavender and for a spider shot in the studio in one of my other videos. I’ve also used 3 Godox MF12 set to different ratios. Of course it gives you more options, but for regular macro photography, it’s not really practical, except for the Godox.
