BMPCC really cool for MACRO shots too

Just got a BMPCC from a friend to do a testdrive.

amazing footage Daniel

What kind of a lense is this? A manual one to Black Magic ?
Well-done...

Great footage! Where did you get from the dead wasp and the ant?

Awesome - take the time to look at the full-rez still frame. I second Ionescu's question ...

FWIW, I got a cheap $8 set of Macro tubes for my GH4 and they work great with manual focus lenses.

Thank you guys! I've used an old manual Tamron SP 90mm Macro for the first shot. For the second shot to achieve a higher magnification I've used a manual 28mm lens with macro coupler ring reverse mounted on the BMPCC. With a crop factor of 2.88 you can get amazing macro shots.

I found a dead wasp on the terrace and placed it strategically near some fire ants. Was patient and ready for shooting until a fire ant grabbed the dead wasp from the right side. Lol, you have to take your time because you can't direct them.

I have directed ants many times. I teach them to play dead and look like they have been stepped on all the time. :) But those are really fantastic macros for sure. It's fun to play with old lens goodies and also extender rings.

Nicely done - very innovative. The wasp shot could be Ideal "concept" shot - maybe include keywords such as strength, power, determination, work ethic etc.

Those 90mm Tamron macro lenses were the work-horses of the 80s - really sharp.

Good works really...
