Feeding Ant Video

[Dogfish_magnet]

Been playing around with the MP-E and video - very difficult to get the focus correct and get lighting to the subject, slightest vibration looks like and earth quake - you can actually see food traveling into the Ants mouth to-wards the end - shot at 5:1 and ISO3200

Ant advice gratefully received - looks like a steep learning curve

That is nuts...

I think videoing at 5:1 is going to require an extremely stable tripod setup to stop the quakes. Maybe more of an indoor studio set up thing ?

Nicely done.

I found the MP-E 65 a tricky lens to get to grips with. More of a microscope than a lens.
