Insects in flight Pt. 1 - Macro Talk #43- from Allan Walls Photography, MAY 16, 2023

The insects in flight discussion did not go as planned because I did not get the device built, as planned - It will be all ready to go on Thursday. In this episode we talked stereo, I said thank you, I showed some images, bragged about my new insect prep cart, and failed to show you how cool the new Photoshop beta release is. I didn't break anything or electrocute myself, so I'm pretty happy about that! Next time you see me, I hope, it will be in the new improved studio. I will not try to move on a Livestream day again.

The only product we talked abut was the stereo viewer glasses by Berezin which you can find here... https://amzn.to/45uhZEA

Macro Talk is for anyone remotely interested in closeup and macro photography, and is brought to you by @Allan Walls Photography. The livestream is for all macro photographers, at every level from beginner to seasoned expert. As a dedicated and experienced macro photography teacher, Allan has made hundreds of videos and written as many articles on every aspect of closeup and macro photography and can answer most of your questions on cameras, lenses, accessories, focus stacking, insect preparation, editing and retouching, focus stacking software, or anything else you need to know - and he does it all with his trademark sense of humor. So if you want to learn some macro photography and have a few laughs at the same time, you have come to the right place.

I am occasionally asked about my own choice of gear, so...
When in the studio I use the Nikon D850 as my main camera - https://amzn.to/3zEznWK
My primary video lens is a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom - https://amzn.to/3zzaoUy
My main focus stacking body is a Nikon D7500 - https://amzn.to/371KoFe
A Nikon D3400 is for emergencies - https://amzn.to/3xbwXgu
A Fujifilm XT-2, with a battery grip, is my main microscope camera but also does duty as a livestream back up camera - https://amzn.to/3l3Agnw

I use Adobe software for almost everything, because it is good and the support is fantastic. I am an outspoken fan of Zerene Stacker, and for anyone who thinks I must be a Zerene employee to speak of it in such glowing terms and to recommend it so unconditionally, I am not. It is just the only complete professional macro focus stacking software program on the market. It is in a class of its own.

That is just some of the stuff I use - if you have any questions about my macro gear, or my recording equipment, just ask.

All my audio, music and sound effects come from Epidemic Sound - I have been with them for about 3 years and they are pretty awesome - www.epidemicsound.com

Unless I state differently, all the photography you see on my channel, in my videos and on my website, was done by me. I tell you that so that you know I would never blame another photographer for my photographic mediocrity. But I love taking pictures, so I do.
