I've not managed to capture an image of a dung fly before...I didn't even know what he was until I got home and researched it. Now I'm a little grossed out

We hope you all had an amazing Christmas, along with some downtime to get the camera out! We have been spending some time shooting pocket watches in our latest Youtube video. You can watch it here - youtu.be/MRS2BOdr9po

Many of you will recognise this little pocket watch from The Photography Show, we use it quite a lot to demonstrate the capabilities of the Adaptalux Studio. Reflective, detailed subjects like this can be tricky to light, so you need the flexibility that the Lighting Arms of the studio provide.

In this video, we spend some time looking at the differences between white Diffusers, Colour Filters and Lighting Arms. Adding colour to subjects like this can often be done more for fun than practicality, but there are some subtle tricks you can use to enhance even a "natural" looking shot.

For this shot, we went a little wild with the blue and red lights, but replacing those colours with white would be equally effective at showing off the engraved details of the watch. If you want to read a little more about how we set up the lighting for a shot like this, check out the blog post on our website - bit.ly/adaptaluxWatches

Saigon, Vietnam · Spring 2010

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.

For this shot, we used an amber and blue Lighting Arm with a Diffuser to create a soft light in the front, with a harsh, almost fire-like glow coming from behind. Shooting along the length of the pine cone like this forces the background out of focus and makes the shot look even more surreal.

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?

It always amazes me how a macro highlights the imperfections in things. I thought this gold was nice and smooth and shiny until I saw it through my macro lens.

Malaysia has some of the most dazzling arthropod life. The Borneo rainforest is 140 million years old, making it one of the oldest rainforests in the world and home to countless species of macro photography subjects, many of which are still undescribed. In this post, I'll showcase 100 of the memorable shots from Malaysia that I've taken in 2015. Please enjoy this photo series here: bit.ly/1mH9ZdI

The Cassidinae (tortoise and leaf-mining beetles) are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles.

Spotted this little guy on our hose pipe stand.

He was tiny, smaller than a pea but with a macro lens he suddenly becomes more than just a tiny jumping spider. He has eyes, and hairs and all this detail you wouldn't normally be able to see! 💜

Does anyone know if this a certain kind of jumping spider? 🤔

Would love to know it's name if it has one 👍

“Convergent Evolution”

Some insects are as big as small birds.

“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

In 2022, I spent a little more time exploring the urban microfauna. I was also an instructor at BugShot Ecuador 2022 and had lots of lifers from the Amazon and cloud forests. I also resumed some workshops in the field, while most of my lectures were still conducted online. All in all, I found myself playing around more with my wide-angle relay system for the most unique perspectives. Read more

Macro Highlights - The Best of 2020

2020 is not a normal year by any measure. With varying degrees of lockdowns happening across the globe due to COVID-19, way fewer field trips were made and we saw photographers spending more time exploring their gardens and the micro fauna around their homes. Were there fewer finds? Yes, but the thing unique about macro photography is that revisiting the same spot over time can yield very different finds and photos.

Here are over 50 of my most memorable photos from 2020, mostly from within Singapore. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

I love the way the light falls on the fern leaves in this shot. For me, it just highlights the beauty of nature.
