Your talent and love of all creatures is very inspiring to a fellow Pentaxian. I have a new k70,and am very interested in close-up and macro. I just bought a new 100mm Pentax true macro lens and am anxious to get out with it.Question: I have a ring-light set-up,but would like to get a two-light set up.Do you use one?
Again…I am really enjoying your videos.

How do you get such clear pictures? When I tru this I get only a line of clarity across the photo. I really want to take photos of the insect world like you but I canβt get it to work
Thanks for taking the time to spread your knowledge despite of the haters out there posting negative comments… you are awesome!
Wow. Brilliant photography, so inspiring.
Beautiful pictures which lens do you use ? π»
Just …. wow
How do you do focus stacking with your setup?
Superb Photos.. May I know the lens and setup details?
What flash bracket and stuff are you using to mount your flash away from the camera?
What lens use here?
Wonderful… Thank you for bringing us closer to the little friends

Love your videos Thomas ππ½
You can notice the difference between video, and photo quality.
The pictures in this video are some of the best macro photographs I've ever seen, yet the video quality is from 2010, and it sucks.
Thanks Thomas, I love this educational video!
Who are those 193 faggots, pushed dislikes??
Amazing photos.
It's amazing how the first fly looks like it hasn't little baby fly growing out of its forehead
Superb!
Hi… I am yudi from Indonesia… I use eos 1200d and ef 100mm f2.8 to capture tiny insect… but to tell you the truth, i am not really satisfied with the result (not very details)… please I need some advice how to capture macro and is there any equipment to complete my camera or macro lens…?
Hey Thomas, awesome examples and video. I have a 'normal' gear, with a 100mm macrolens. Can I book similar closeups with that lens? Using a flash and a lot of patience….
How did he stack the images?
Sir, this is the best video I have ever seen on photography, ever. I could pick at perceived flaws, but again sir, this is the best video I have ever seen on photography.
I am a fairly staunch analogue fan, in all forms, I shoot only on film, including macro photography. Your line about shooting hundreds and hundred of photographs, initially bothered me. As a film photographer saying something like that is a curse word. But it's the same on film as digital. The more you take, the better the odds. (You said it much more eloquently.)
Thank you, you have inspired me.
superb. love the insects and love your work.
Man, youre voice can be used as an antidepressant
Expected more on your gear and nuances of techniques used….your commentary was heavier on the subject of entomology
Omg!!! How could you take those photos !!! ??? They are unbelievable beautiful and sharp !!!
I was surprised to see you used a reversed 28mm lens. Are you shooting at a fixed aperture while viewing and shooting?
Thanks for sharing and I have subscribed.
What extension tube length do you use?
Amazing work!
Amazing pictures congratulations!
Wich camera do you use ?thanks
Lovely video.. shows the love for the subjects.. and hence the beauty β€οΈ
