Bees

I've posted a new short that really gets down to beesness. All of the clips are of course available here on P5.

That was some glorious macro shots Mark! I know how difficult those macro shots are to maintain focus.
Could you tell more about your workflow, lenses etc?

Thanks for sharing!

Great shots, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Per Johan- The macro lens was a Canon 100 mm L. It has an exceptional look/bokeh. Keeping focus was indeed difficult, there were many many shots that were too soft to use. One thing that helped though was putting the camera on a ball head, attaching that to a slider, and mounting the slider on a tripod. The benefit being that you can slide the camera back and forth quickly to follow the bee action without having to move the tripod.

Beautiful clip Mark.

Thanks Michael. Developing massive buzz on this.

Great work Mark.

Bee, buzz, buzz, bee, buzz... get it?!? Now that's humor.

Drum roll.....

Beeeeeutiful! ;-)
