Focus Bracketing Mushrooms & More • Canon EOS R6 Mark II & RF 100mm Macro Lens!

[@gregfisher216]

Good morning Phil , The thing I like about your videos is simplicity ! You have really nice gear and you make photography where you are . This encourages the average photographer as they don't have spend thousands of dollars traveling 1000's of miles to get great shots! The shots are great , you can't beat that 100 mm macro !!! I don't think my little R has focus bracketing ! I can always focus stack!

Thank you, Greg!

Nice work Phil. Some of those mushrooms looked so unusual in shape and colors. Looked like a good day out.

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Adrian!

There is a whole other world under your feet to photograph.

[@PhilThach]

Yep! 👍

Another great video Phil. I really like the way you explain what you do and are very transparent with your creative choices. I appreciate your candor mate! Well done … I would love to see your work flow some day… ❤

[@PhilThach]

Thank you!

I love macro photography almost as much as waterfall. Good job on the photos and thanks for the shout out. 😎

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Ron!

Thanks Phil, I also have the R6 ii and the RF 100mm macro. I have not yet used the macro very much. I did not realize the camera would do the compositing! That is very cool. Love your style of simplicity, easy to understand, and a pleasure to watch.

Thank you, Bob!

Loving the Mic that you are using. Your voice is DEEP in Rich BASS which sounds unbelievable and clear. Cheers!

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Randall!

Hi Phil. Really enjoyed this video and have a suggestion. There are various size folding diffusers that you can pop open to create the shade you desired a couple of times. Some of them have built in handles while being lightweight and portable too.

Great video Phil, glad to see u having fun with macro. Love that level especially now with the focus stacking. What a difference from our film days. Keep up the good work.

[@PhilThach]

Thank you!

[@ses4vols]

Nice shots! You got a lot of variety of fungi. I liked the color of the newt. Don't be so hard on the waterfall shot, I thought it turned out great.

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Stephen!

I didn't know about this feature with the R6 Mark2. I'm excited to try it. Thanks!

Enjoyed this vlog Phil, images were also a pleasure to see. 💜👍🏼💜

Thank you!

@@PhilThach I'm planning on upgrading from the EOS R to the EOS R5, thoughts?

[@PhilThach]

@@TC_Conner There are great prices on the R5 right now or you could wait a couple of months and get an R5 Mark II. It will not be on sale, however.

[@TC_Conner]

@@PhilThach Thanks for the advice. I may wait, but having the R5 now for a wedding in July and a wedding shower in August would be great!

[@TC_Conner]

@@PhilThach Canon hasn't made it official that there will be a EOS R5 Mk II yet.

I enjoyed the video. I recently subscribed after seeing you on the Tim Childers Photography channel. Just an FYI, the first mushroom that you photographed was a Russula, the second one was a Boletus, the third and fourth were Amanita varieties, the fifth was a Chanterelle, and the sixth was Honey mushrooms. (Chanterelle's are very good to eat, by the way.) Finally, the occasionally wet area you photographed is called a vernal pool. These are very important areas for the development of a wide variety of amphibians. I love your photography work!

[@PhilThach]

Thank you very much on a number of subjects. First, I appreciate you having a look at my channel after seeing me on Tim’s video. Second I appreciate all the knowledge about the species of mushrooms and the vernal pool. And finally, I appreciate the nice comment about my photos. The video I made that day with Tim comes out sometime over the next couple of weeks. I had a really fun day doing street photography with Tim and I enjoy all three of his KZbin channels.

[@samgeddes528]

I really enjoyed this video. I appreciated walking us through the setup of each photo and explaining the camera settings along the way. Thanks!

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Sam!

[@NECPER]

Great challenges and good results in your competent hands. Thanks for sharing.

[@PhilThach]

Thank you!

[@JeffandLeslie]

nice video. I"ve messed around with the focus stacking on my R7 a few times. I managed some interesting shots. Your shots are really cool.

[@PhilThach]

Thank you, Jeff!

[@leonfisher]

Really glad to see macro stuff again. Great photos as well. Now... What are your thoughts on the Z6iii?

[@PhilThach]

Thank you! I think the Z6iii looks great but I also think “partially stacked” is marking jargon, not a real thing. The camera still suffers from some rolling shutter issues. I think that term is misleading.

[@leonfisher]

@@PhilThach I think video folk will like the new video more than photo snappers. Maybe Nikon will send you one for a test!
