Retired professional photographer here in the states. I'm doing a lot more macro work these days and find your videos to be soooo informative. Great tips, ideas and training! Just got my facial mister from Amazon yesterday. You also have a wonderful way in front of the camera. Keep those videos coming - we need you!
Wow Jay thank you ever so much I am speechless with your wonderful comment.
Trust me I will most definitely be carrying on I have so so much more up my sleeve my friend.
I really can’t thank you enough for this comment
Outstandingly good information video's, all done with affordable equipment and straight forward no messing explanation of getting great results, Thank you Lee for taking time out of your day to make all of us better photographers.
@@TheWitchboard wow thank you from the bottom of my heart for your fantastic kindness and support it really means a lot to me
Ah Lee mate, brilliant! Had some success then I tried putting the wire in the freezer for an hour then spraying, so different but man you have to work quick! Now to try spraying then putting it in the freezer 🥶
Hi my friend I really love your idea about freezing the droplets. If I was you I would put the wire into the freezer then spraying it that way you might get the droplets to stay on. Then after a few hours repeat the spray and see if you can build them up
New subscriber here! 😊 I have only watched 2-3 of your videos and I’ve already learned so much! I just love your friendly down-to-earth style. Time to take a deep-dive at the rest of your videos!
Hello there and a massive welcome to my CZcams family. Thank you ever so much for your wonderful comment. I just trying and keep my channel as fun and friendly as I possibly can. And just be me lol, I see so many channels trying to be something there not and make everything so hard. All I want to do is share kno6so we can all take wonderful pictures
My eyes are smiling when I look at it, thank you very much
Awwww thank you I really appreciate your kindness and support
Just discovered your images and I’m really inspired ❤
Wow thank you ever so much for your kind words
Ah, so THAT'S how you achieve your signature backgrounds. Thanks. I'll need to do some more macro at home. The wet and muddy winter has killed my inspiration for outdoors photography.
Thank you Lee. I love the way your brain works, it's very inspiring. Another one of your ideas that I will be trying.
Hello my friend thank you ever so much for your kind words. I spent last year trying to work out where my ideas come from. It really made my head hurt lol.
Hope you are keeping well
Lee - I think your presentation style is so good. You’re a genuine guy for sure - Keep going
Hi mate thanks you ever so much. What you see is definitely what you get buddy
สุดยอด❤
It’s so good to be watching your videos again, Lee.👍
Thank you for all the tips on how to not spend a lot of money to get great photos; much appreciated. Love your macro stuff.
Hi buddy thank you ever so much for your kind words. It’s been a long time coming my friend I am just glad to be back in the seat
Another Great video with some great creativity my friend thanks for sharing
You are absolutely welcome mate. It was a little rushed this week as Mrs H has had me decorating lol. But to be fair it is me that makes the mess lol
Just found your channel. Very helpful. I watched Stewart Wood's videos a while back when he visited our club (Stourbridge) but didn't get around to trying anything myself. I will have a go now. Your accent is local, I'm in Halesowen.
Ar bin ya my friend welcome to my CZcams family. It’s so nice to speak to someone from the West Midlands. Stewart wood is amazing at macro photography and a very good friend of mine.
I try to keep everything budget friendly so everyone can have a go at home during these winter months
just started looking at your tutorials
hooked already,simple,easy set ups for the common man
not saying I will master it without practice and patience.learn a little bit every day.
If this lets me produce water proplet/dandelion photos, anything like yours,I will be a very happy bunny.
need more people like you
Awwww god bless thank you from the bottom of my heart. With a little practice you will definitely be taking pictures exactly like my shots I promise you. Take everyday step by step and don’t give up and you will be all good
Thank you Mr Hall! Your the MAN!!!!!! thank you for teaching us your great techniques. Keep up the good work teacher!!!!
Thank you kindly sir I am so glad you enjoyed this video. Role in the next one.
Stay safe and happy snapping
Excellent. Thanks Lee. Love the hoodie from my neck of the woods
Hi Lee fantastic informative video yet again, could you let me know where you got the small lights with the snoods please
Love the idea of using that misting device. I've added a little glycerin to the water to add a little surface tension, I wonder if that would work with that little sprayer ? Nice video, Thanks
Hi Tom hope you’re keeping well, thank you for your message. I wouldn’t try it with my little mister my friend as I think the glycerin would block it up as it’s so fine
OOOOOOO, I love those pics at the end of the video! Also, if women are jewerly makers or crafters, you could also use some of the fine art wire in metalic colors too.... I have a ton! Lee which lights are these? I checked your description and they weren't mentioned and found an expensive set of three on US Amazon. Thanks for these inspiring videos.... I'll be watching a lot more of these videos too.
Hi Jessica you are so right jewellery wire would work absolutely perfect. Please let me know how you get on or if you need any help
Another simple but effective idea, will give it a go tomorrow.
Hi buddy thank you ever so much. Trust me it really is great fun
Another great video!!! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and for teaching in a way that everyone can understand and follow!!!!
God bless you my dear friend your comments and support are just what I need thank you
Another great lesson. I love that you keep things simple in order to reach a larger audience. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your next creative idea. Thank you so much.
Hello there thank you for sending me such a wonderful message. It really is messages like this that keep me going.
Role on the next video
All your shots are amazing Lee but the spiral wire was my favourite! You are so right about doing photography on a budget. The KISS principle rules here (Keep It Simple Stupid). Again thanks for another inspiring video.
God bless you my friend thank you ever so much for your kind comment. I really don’t understand why others don’t keep it simple
❤ Dank je wel 😊
You are most welcome
Another fab instructional video, the copper wire is something I will definitely try. Thank you Lee.🤗

Another great video Lee. Now I know what to do with the dozen or so spring clamps I have in my shop that are too small for wood working. And I guess the recycling is going to have to wait for the copper wire I have laying around the shop. Thanks Lee.
Ha ha ha ha you are so funny I absolutely love your messages. Don’t you worry I will clean that shop out by the end of the year
Hi Lee, great photos and inspiriation and my shopping list for the Photo show is getting smaller as will look around the house for alternatives. Keep up the great work Lad.
Hi Glen, that’s definitely the way to go money is so hard to make but so easy to spend.
Great video and great pictures. Thanks for sharing!
Your most welcome thank you for your kind words and support
Another gem, Lee. I’m one that doesn’t have a flash but did purchase the Rig lights. Anxious to give it a try
Bless you Bev I have not used one my self you will have to let me know how you get on
Hi Lee, what a great video. Brilliant idea about using copper wire. I will give it a go, it's on the list. Such a simple set up too, can't go wrong. Thank you for sharing your ideas, can't wait for the next one 😀
Hi Sue thank you ever so much trust me it really is great fun and that little spray makes it even easier
Thanks for the great ideas, fantastic images.
Hi there my friend thank you kindly I really appreciate your support
Awesome video, creativity, and photography skill ❤ loved it ❤
Wow thank you ever so much I a. So so glad you enjoyed this video 🙏🙏🙏
Another great idea and wonderful images. Thanks Lee.
Hi buddy you are most welcome. The video was a little rushed this week as Mrs H has had me decorating
I always like your common sense approach to these projects. Your calm confidence helps me believe "I can do that too!" Your sense of humor helps as well. Where did you get the lights withe funnels?
Hello my friend thank you for your kind message. You can do anything, just take your time have fun and just have patience. If it don’t work the first time try again. I know you can do it I have faith
My little light is from Amazon
They come single or in a set

Hello Lee!!! You are so creative!!! I love all the cool things that you come up with! Lol you make photography fun!!! In a world fill with violence, you are a soothing breath of fresh air!!! In other words you are such an inspiration, and that's what a content creator should be!!! Thank you so much!!!! This will be my next project!!!!!👍👍👍📷
Wow thank you for such a wonderful compliment. The World is definitely a bad place at the moment with everything that is going on. I find it's easier to put my mind into photography and just go with the flow lol.
You will have hours of fun with this little project. The only thing that can stop you is your imagination
You're very welcome Lee!!!
Great video Lee!! You got some great images; you are so creative!🙂
Hi Trish thank you ever so much you are so so kind my friend 🙏
Thank you… Thank you… Thank you!! I love seeing the cool stuff you have to share!! Thank you Lee!! 😊
What kind of wire would I look for to do this?
I just used some old wire from a powe lead that was no good. You don't need a lot.
I guess you could use some eire they make jewellery from or something like that.
I hope this helps as I have no links for it
Fantástico como siempre Lee, gracias.
Thank you kindly
Thanks, Lee. So creative as always.
God bless you my friend thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you, Great ideas!!👍😄
You are most welcome I am so happy you enjoyed this video
Thanks a lot, great ideas.
Hi mate you are most welcome
I do enjoy watching your. Thank you.
God bless you my friend thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support without people like your self dropping me a message I probably would have stopped making them
Some great idea's here Lee....thankyou
You are most welcome my friend thank you kindly for watching and supporting me
Great image and video love the effect
Hello my dear friend hope you have been keeping well. Thank you once again for your kindness and support it really does mean a lot to me
Fun video... thanks Lee.
Hi my friend thank you ever so much I am so glad you enjoyed it
Another great video Lee. I love it! I would have never thought to use copper wire. Other than the sprayer, have you ever tried mixing glycerine with the water to help the drops retain their shape and stick easier? I have heard of that trick, but definitely going to try the sprayer/mister. Please keep up the great videos and hopefully someday you and Steward can do another collaboration video. 😁
Hi buddy thank you for stopping by and sending me such a wonderful message.
I have tried glycerin a couple of times in the past and it does help a little bit but I find it makes the water heavy and when I use a flash with it the drops look milky. I would never put it in my spray bottle as it would block the spray up mate.
Maybe me and Stewart will be teaming up later on in the year. We will just have to see
@@LeeHallphotography Good to know! Thank you. if you do team up again, I look forward to it. Have an awesome week!
Thoroughly enjoyed this
God bless you my dear friend thank you for your kind words. I hope you are keeping safe and well
Superb video like always, well explained,and it’s all about photography thanks lee
Wow thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I really love and appreciate your kindness and support. It makes doing these videos worth while
Thanks for the video Lee will be giving it a go today 👍
You’re most welcome I hope you have as much fun as I did my friend. Thank you for your kind comment
Great job lee well done
Wow thank you ever so much I really appreciate your kindness and support
Thanks Lee superb video given me some ideas for a little project 😊
Hi my friend sorry for the late reply, thank you for all your support
I going to try freezing water droplets on a wire. It's minus 17 degrees where I am in Ontario right now, so the droplets should freeze in about 5 seconds
Wow wow wow that is freezing not cold lol. I would be out trying to freeze bubbles as well. Please let me know how you get on
What a great bloke .you have opened my eyes into macro photography . And saved my lots of money . i would never fault of using a pringle tube . and extension tube's .I've had some good results .thanks Mr hall
Hi Dave thank you kindly. No photography should be expensive there is alway an away to achieve great shots without spending lots of cash mate.
The only thing we need is just a bit of imagination and plenty of patience
Great video. New to macro and i love your outlook on budget photography. Do you have a link for your mister it looks a great piece of kit. I'll definitely give your copper wire trees a go. Thanks Alan
That was brilliant Lee and always love the ideas you come up with. One question Lee what is the name of the little lights you’re using and where is the best place to get them as they look brilliant.
Hi my friend thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words I will put a link to the lights at the bottom of this message for you

Thanks Lee, another great video to get the creative juices flowing. You always make me smile, so thank you for being you🙏
I was told I needed glasses when I was 18. Now 32 years later I have a drawer full of them which I never use. Is that denial 🤔 Anyway I like your pair. What does Mrs H think 🤓📸
😂😂 hello my friend thank you once again for your wonderful words. Mrs H said I look like Allan Carr the chatty man 😂😂 but to be fair I have been called a lot worse 🤣😂🤣 I tell you what I have walked into more walls and doors with the thing on lol
@@LeeHallphotography I hear ya Lee, loud and clear 🤓
Excellent tutorial Lee, have you got a link for the mister please. Keep up the great work mate.
Hello my friend thank you ever so much for your kind words I will put the link at the bottom of this message for you

Excellent, I've just ordered them, I cant wait 🙂 Thanks Lee.
Excellent I have done this but I did not know how to get good water drops. I been doing it the hard way. The mister bottle what way to go. Found a assortment of bottles on the amazon.
Hello my friend thank you for your message. The mister bottle really does help build up the water droplets perfect. I struggled my self with a normal spray bottle.
First time seeing you, enjoyed the video very much. What are the little lights with the little snoots that you are using, as well as the sprayer.
Hello my friend thank you for taking the time to send me such a lovely message
I will leave you the links to the lights and spray at the bottom

@@LeeHallphotography
Not a problem
Great video but you should let the viewer see what you see. A sheet blocking the view isn't perfect for youtube.
Hi my friend I totally agree with you on that. But the only problem is I only have one video camera so it makes it hard to record things twice. But I have just brought a lead to plug my small camer I use to take the pictures with into the computer. Hopefully that will work. But I was thinking the same as you my friend. I 100% agree with what your saying
@@LeeHallphotography I fully understand that! With one camera, you can turn the set so the viewer sees all from the side as you will do from the other side. No more equipment required, just a 90 degree turn.
Beste lee waar kunt ge die achter grond koen.
There's no reason I can see that you should not demonstrate the use of the software bundled with your camera, DPP with your Canon, OM Workspace with this camera. Viewers can tell you what comes with other brands, perhaps someone wile link to or make a video you can share.
Many years ago, I went to rod building classes where I made a fishing rod. To coat it I used ssome epoxy stuff, to measure small quantities I purchased a syringe from a local pharmacy. Needles not required. We used much larger ones, needles included, down of the farm.
In your video you don’t mention what lens you are using. So seriously…Does size matter?😅
😂🤣😂🤣 well I can’t say a lot but size really does not matter 😂🤣😂🤣 well I hope not lol. It’s a small 60mm lens but I have used my 100mm as well. I don’t like to go on about cameras to much as I am really not that technical lol
@@LeeHallphotography have you ever used a lensbaby lens? I have the 105 macro lens, which I would try with this I think.
