Escargot

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.

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?

Famille d'escargots

Gottesanbeterin (Mantis religiosa) in Baden-Würrtenberg - so ein schönes elegantes und v.a. super getarntes Tier. Auf diese Sichtung warte ich seit 5 Jahren.....

A mantis in Baden-Württemberg – such a beautiful, elegant, and, above all, superbly camouflaged animal. I've been waiting for this sighting for five years

This is my husband's cup of tea, just after the boiling water had been poured in. I don't drink tea and can't stand the smell of it, so this photo is the utmost testament to my bravery in coping with the smell and perseverance for working with this for as long as I did. LOL

Lagria hirta

Lagria hirta is a species of beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The species name hirta comes from the Latin hirtus meaning rough hair or rough wool, referring to the coarse, fuzzy appearance of the beetle.

After the petals have fallen, the beautiful centre of the Bergamot flower remains.

A gift to myself on Christmas Day

Another camera, I cried

You can’t have too many, photographers say

So I’m taking it all in my stride

I’ve got large ones with very big lenses

I’ve got small ones in pocketing size

This one’s my in-betweener, with 20 MP

So nothing’s a compromise

A gift to myself on Christmas Day

Another camera for me

The Lumix two twenty - by all accounts great

So I’m taking it out now to see.

Encore des cyclamens en décembre dans le sous-bois derrière la maison

These Wild Orchids are found in the UK at Silverdale.

They are protected in The Netherlands and Belguim.

Now that's a look! Did you know that flies can perceive movement six times faster than humans? This allows them to instantly react to danger and avoid predators. Thanks to these unique abilities, flies are some of the quickest insects around
