Would love to see some more extreme macro please. We particularly want to see the set up und use of the 10x MOL. Thanks Stewart, this is a great channel.

"A weird 70's Porno Vibe!" Have a lot of experience with 70's Porno's do we Stewart? LOL Ok. enough of that. On a lot more serious note, I also suffer from depression and have done, on and off (I tend to suffer bouts of it rather than being permanently depressed, thank goodness) for 20 years or more! Photography is also one of the things that has helped me tremendously!

Would also love to see the microscope objective at work. Great video!

Keep up the great work! Love your videos. 💜

Great video as usual. I'd love to see some 10x macro Stewart!

Excellent video Stewart, thank you! I'm also very glad you appear to have got over your depression issues. Everyone needs a great hobby, and some people just don't realize it until it's too late. Keep up the great work.

I appreciate a lot the peaceful environment and music in the background

Great videos! Keep up the good work! Because of you and a few youtubers (1-2 max)I got into liking the macro photography the most.

Nice video and definitely family first. This was a nice surprise. Love your work. Nice job

@mickeyfinn439 6 years ago

Just found your videos, and have subscribed... watched about 3 or 4 already. I like your approach and simple, straightforward setups! I have been interested in Macro for several decades, slowly purchasing equipment and accessories. I'm finally to the point where I have enough stuff and time to "get serious" and do something. I enjoy your content and will use some of your ideas in my hobby. Keep up the great work, and continue with the bloopers at the end! Love it!!!

Sorry to hear about your depression Stewart, I went through it too. Loving your facebook channel and informative youtube vids mate, you should be proud!

The best example and explanation of macro ive watched. I have been looking to get into this to pass time and help with depression, thanks for making this video. Really answered alot of questions I had.

@oldfilmguy9413 7 years ago

Add my vote for a video or two with the microscope lens, and love the make-shift diffuser - my kind of shoot!

@lkaufman719 7 years ago

I can hardly wait for your physical backgrounds!

@Ministry_Of_Lies 6 years ago (edited)

Photography of any kind is a good way to manage depression, so I totally get where you're coming from. Thanks for the vid and ideas.

This is really amazing !! Thank you so much for sharing.

@geekinthegarden3927 2 years ago

Another great video - just binge watching loads of them at the moment.

If you are getting the results then you are doing it right. You might not be doing it the same as someone else, or the easist way, or the most efficiant way, of even the"Technically Correct" way - but your results verify your method.

@scottnoble1076 7 years ago

Yes want to see micro macro please all your vids are great

@ianw73iw 7 years ago

Once again a cracking video. Love the fact it’s slow and understandable what you are doing. Same again with the extreme macro would be great. Thanks again, keep it going. Oh, pleased your car is fit again!

Hi Stewart, love your channel very interesting and intriguing. Thanks for going into such detail about the process and equipment. Love to see the stacking process and the other macro lens mentioned here . Thanks!
