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.
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?
Because I could not get my 'big' lens into the tight place the larva had chosen to hide I used my phone to take this and shot in DNG/RAW format. Mobile phones are transforming the way I record insects for the iNaturalist database. I no longer take my pocket 'macro' camera. I am now happy I will get a decent shot with my phone.
