Pine cones are a quick and easy subject to shoot at home, so we thought we would take a look at how to get some cool and creative shots from a couple of pine cones in our latest tutorial video.

 

Watch it here - youtu.be/KyF3I8vjrNI

 

A lot of you may have seen the pine cone shot on our homepage, it's one of our favourite shots to demonstrate what the Adaptalux Studio can do. We used the same pine cone (and a new one) to get a few more interesting shots.

 

A shot like this is achieved by pointing two coloured Lighting Arms across each other, shining onto the pine cone. You can see more about the setup in the video or the blog post here - bit.ly/adaptaluxpines

 

The coloured lights shine off the spines of the pine cones really well. Depending on the angle of the camera and the lights, they can create some amazing highlights along the ridges of each spine and shadows deep in the pine cone where the light can't reach.

 

We think the addition of colour to a subject like this can really take your creativity to another level, what do you think to shooting pine cones in this style?

Duttaphrynus melanostictus is commonly called Asian common toad, Asian black-spined toad, Asian toad, black-spectacled toad, common Sunda toad, and Javanese toad. It is probably a complex of more than one true toad species that is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia.

Polypedates maculatus, the Indian tree frog,[1] or Chunam tree frog, is a common species of tree frog found in South Asia.

Photographed by Adaptalux Customer, Desmond Lingard. This is a Barbie Doll illuminated with an Adaptalux Studio, showing just how the colours can really make a subject unique.

The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.

I've always been aware of the fact that insects can assume rather peculiar appearances, but this one take the cake. That is, until I come across something even more unusual.

 

The insect in question is a weird-looking brown creepy-crawly, belonging to the Membracidae family, commonly known as the treehopper. What sets it apart is the way is pronotum, which is the protective plate at the front of their thorax, extends upward and over their body. In certain species, the pronotum takes on the appearance of a thorn, earning them the nickname "thorn bugs." However, in other species, it assumes even more eccentric shapes.

 

Treehoppers can be spotted on various tree species, with a preference for young trees and perennial weeds. They are relatively small, measuring under 10mm in body length, and both adults and nymphs can often be found in groups on the stems and new growth of their host plants. These peculiar insects possess mouthparts equipped with two sharp tubes—one for injecting saliva to prevent the tree's defenses from sealing up the puncture and the other for sucking.

 

What truly makes them unique is their natural instinct to jump when disturbed, which explains their common name: treehoppers.

 

I have several lateral shots, but loved this full frontal of its questioning gaze.

 

They were all over my garden on Saturday when I took this pic 🐝

 

Got lucky and caught this one mid flight on his way to the pink flower 🌺

This is a cheetoish dorito I found in my bag of doritos.

Once The noise factor is accepted, it's a pretty cool shot. They came through huge, but never clear enough. Uploaded for my Macro Set.

1/2 centimeter (3/16 inch) ANT tending to APHIDS. I am not sure if the ants were protecting the smaller aphids, or waiting to eat them. Very common on milk weeds in July

Being a macro freak and never really getting as close as I would like, I have always matched lenses to accommodate my latest idea. In this photo, I am using a Canon 70-200mm EFS-USM with a video wide angle adapter spun around backwards. Both have a diameter of 67mm filter threading and a 67mm reversal ring would work, but taping the two together using duct tape and cardboard seemed more my style and worked great. ( 430EX "3/4") , 250, f/32 Focal=200mm
