Macro tricks in the forest: Easy lighting, focus and composition tips

What do we think to the spray bottle technique?

This is the video that made me subscribe
Awesome content — and what a beautiful little tool that spray bottle is indeed 😂

the trick with the water is magic! thanks so much!

Glad your channel popped up in my feed. Great tips plus scenery😁

Very well explained and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks. Vijay.

The "seed pods" and the "sprouts" you photographed are the sporophytes of mosses, which release the spores that the mosses use to reproduce (like ferns) The first one looks like a species of polytrichum. Also, the moss you photographed right after the "sprouts" is a species of sphagnum, or bog moss, the same moss that makes up a peat bog/pitcher plant bog.

Your process if very interesting and eye opening. Thanks for breaking things down for us. I'll keep this spray trick in my pocket if you don't mind hehe

walking alone ??

Great idea the spry water bottle. I'm going to use it in my next photography photoshoot adventure. Ciao!

Weeds can make beautiful macro subjects. I’m always finding pretty flowers and discovering that they are weeds.

GREAT EXPLANATION VIDEO :)
I WAS SO MUCH ENJOYED WATCHING THAT I DID A THUMB-UP ABOUT THE ART AND SUBSCRIBED TO THE GALLERY ;)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)

THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

Can I ask where you got your spray bottle?

Hi)
I am a beginner photographer and I wanna know about your tripod.
What kind of tripod have you used?
By the way, thanks for useful content.

Thanks, Andrew!

Великолепно! Спрей очень улучшает картинку. Буду использовать этот прием.

Bagus sekali❤

Thank you, very helpful. Just starting out with macro, so need all the help I can get!

what as the rectangular light you used?

Hello Andrew, I like your work here! Regards from Cebu island, Philippines.

Love your videos. Very inspiring. Thanks!

Another great video! Do you have to use a subscription type editing software to photo stack or can you use the Canon freeware? Thanks. You are making me want to try it.

Wow thank you for video!! Amazing! Love photos. Im into macro photography now!!
Would love to see your post processing work.

Thanks for your videos, really enjoy them! What do you use for your panel light

Spray bottle. Nice.

Hi Andrew, i'm a landscape photography and i'm approaching to macro with 105 Sigma Art. What technique do you prefer, moving focus or using a micrometric slider? Your videos are awesome, you have a new follower.

That water bottle tricks is awesome, love it 👍🏻👍🏻

Great content,Thanks for these useful tips Andrew

Great video, definitely going to add a spray bottle into my kit bag

The ones with a sprayed water are really cool! Have to try it too :P

I like the spray bottle technique but I forget to take mine with me, most of the time!!

Awesome! The spray bottle is clever, gonna try that!

Great video. Subbed!

ps. I'm pretty sure lichen is a hard K sound for the ch :D

Loved your tips. Certainly going to get a small water spray and an additional external light solution. Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks

Very useful video Andrew. Can I ask what sort of lens you use?

I am new to macro this was very useful to me great video loved what you done with lighting and the soray bottle , loved your images thank you 👍

Great content, you make macro look easy. I've never tried the spray bottle technique but aim to give it a go.

nice video, really enjoyed it

Great video Andrew i really enjoyed it from start to finish and i like the tip using a spay bottle of water to make a misty morning look must give it a try myself and see how it's turns out for me thanks for sharing and keep safe Andrew 👍👊

what is the exact model of your led panel please ?

Great bit of forest you found there, I love those mossy glades, and completely agree with you, worth it even if you don't get a shot, but of course you did!

Nicely done Andrew. I like your spray bottle tool.

wonderful videos, i already saw most of your content! one question why do you use the Canon 5d4 instead your Canon R5? regards!

Great video, loved the idea of spraying during the shoot. I use a spray bottle to place droplets on flowers, but mid-shooting is interesting.
Would also be interesting to do that with a longer shutter speet, to have a sort of rain effect with the motion of the droplets.

Another nice video, I leanred a lot from your videos, thanks for sharing!!!

Hi I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I like the way you are not telling us what we should do, just helping us move on our journey along with you. Easy going informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for all your efforts.
