My Best Techniques for Finding Bugs in Autumn/Winter - Macro Walks ep8

[@Tukkerson]

The woodlouse shot is superb!

[@BR-uz9nj]

That was an impressive set of images. Your work amazes me.

[@mrewald]

Being able to pronounce the Latin names is pretty spectacular as well!

[@ScottButler-q1h]

You are a lucky man!!!! I rolled a log/stick this last weekend trying to find something....well, I found something!! 19inch long Copperhead snake....no macro necessary.

[@Magni_MacroOG]

Such beautiful photos 🤩 Awesome tips as always, thank you 🙏😁

[@musiqueetmontagne]

WoW Alexis, you get better and better...truly world class images today, just fantastic.😊

[@TheMickebostrom]

Amazing tips and pictures as always!

[@gabriesl87]

Amazing video as always. Can't wait to see what are you gonna shoot in the snow

[@andrewlamberson539]

That was a multiple WOW video!!!!

[@Frank75308]

Dear Alex, I always highly appreciate your excellent videos with useful tips for me

[@paulus0109]

Amazing photowork! So beautiful. Thnx.

[@w0lfyovi294]

Exceptional work, you are always such an inspiration.

[@TheRipge]

Absolute banger of a video! Thank you so much for making it 🌞

[@josephkimani4754]

Great stuff!! This is so cool.

[@hermanmunster4949]

Bravo!

[@ronaldbuitendijkfotografie]

Thanks for this! I put away my macro gear for the winter, but this makes me want to go and find some springtails.

[@MarkSturtevantLectures]

The things sticking out of the woodlouse include a telson (which is in the middle), and the appendages to the left and right are the two branches of the biramous uropods. Amazing video, as always!

[@naturefold]

Thanks! I had forgotten that, Woodlice are awesome

[@Polycera]

Danke für deine Anregungen auch im Winter Makros zu machen 👍. Dann werde ich demnächst auch mal den Grunewald unsicher machen 🤩

[@naturefold]

Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie viel da um Städtischen Wald zu finden ist

[@Polycera]

@naturefold Das glaube ich, bin in Berlin und Umland viel Wildlife unterwegs 👍

[@ernestosacristao6634]

Lieber Alexis, vielen Dank für die wertvollen Makro-Tipps! Für meinen anstehenden Kanaranurlaub bin ich noch auf der Sucher nach einer Outdoorhose fürs Fotografieren. Deine sieht ganz bequem und praktisch aus. Kannst Du eine empfehlen?

[@naturefold]

Ich habe immer welche aus zweiter Hand gekauft also bin ich mir ehrlich gesagt nicht ganz sicher, die meisten sind nicht von "no-name" Marken. Aber ich empfehle immer welche mit verstärkten Knien um auf dem Waldboden rumzukrabbeln :)

[@ernestosacristao6634]

@@naturefold Danke, Dir!

[@memo2103]

Great pictures, I want to say something why don't you make us a video, the settings and the way to capture when moving the camera on the topic also, How can we merge images into one image on the computer? this would be great, also about the camera equipment we need to capture such beautiful micro pictures thank you

[@PhotosbyReif]

Amazing videos😊 is your lens a manual fokus and if so how is it possible to create stacks?

[@catherinegrimes2308]

Another wonderful video, well done. On initially looking at your trousers, I thought that your were wearing knee pads then thought otherwise. I started wearing knee pads so I don't get soggy knees when bending down. For some reason I thought that you used the X-H2S camera and discovered yesterday that the X-H2S can use the flash with an electronic shutter up to a synchronisation speed of 1/125s. Then I thought that you used that camera because you are a heavy flash user and didn't want to wear out the shutter. On reading your equipment list, I realised that you use the X-H2 that doesn't have a stacked sensor. Do you feel worried about wearing out the shutter as you are such a heavy user? I do and I am not a heavy user like you.

[@AndyBetterBugs]

I'm curious, at higher magnifications, are you using f/2.8 rather than f/5.6 for better exposure or does having the aperture wide open also help with sharpness? Great video as always, thanks for teaching me so much

[@naturefold]

At such high magnifications diffraction leads to soft images even at apertures of f/5.6, so on the Laowa 25mm I use f/4 up to around 3.5:1 and f/2.8 for anything higher magnification than that to get the sharpest results.

[@Austins0asis]

Love the jacket where'd you get it?

[@naturefold]

I think I just got this one from Decathlon

[@TurreLenox]

Hi, do yo use Topaz AI to make your pics looks 100% perfect? I have same 25mm and loving it.

[@vladimirdobrasinovic7536]

Great! Thank you! How do you mount loawa 25 mm 5:1 on fuji? With some adapter?

[@naturefold]

Yes I have the 25mm on canon EF mount with an adapter.

[@karmlol]

I love these videos, and the tips are ACTUALLY really very good and so thoroughly and clearly explained. I'm surprised how you're able to use your flash in burst mode. My flash tends to not fire in half the shots when I try at that kind of burst rate. Could you explain a bit how that is done? Is there a specific brand or setting that needs to be used? Is the flash manually set to a very low power?

[@naturefold]

Thanks! While a more powerful flash definitely helps, especially for long bursts, shooting at a low power is the most important thing - even on my v860iii, which is quite a powerful flash, I shoot between 1/32 and 1/64 power to be able to keep up these fast burst rates.

[@mr.inkognito1454]

Hallo Alexis. Bei mir sind immer Ränder zu sehen nach dem stacken. Besonders bei Asseln. Warum ist das bei dir nicht so?

[@naturefold]

Das liegt vor allem einfach an bearbeiten, weiß nicht wie das bei dir in Affinity ist aber meistens kriegt man das mit den richtigen Techniken ganz gut hin. Irgendwann mache ich diesen Winter ein Video zum Bearbeiten von Stacks, vielleicht hilft das dann

[@memo2103]

If you know any inspiring person who talks about this in detail also let us know. Thank you very much.
