This week we went to the Forest Entomology Lab at the University of Florida to take a peak into the world of EXTREME MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY! And while these researchers are taking the macro shots of these insects to the extreme, this technique is actually something that anyone can try for less than 50 dollars. While we may show a beginner setup in the future, this was a really fun setup to talk about and showcase. I hope you enjoy seeing this technique. I know we had fun working with them to show it!
Remember, we do these each week as an outreach to help other filmmakers and photographers learn these techniques. They're usually a side project to our main films.
In particular, special thanks to our Patreon supporters: Tobias Haase, Medesthai,, Huw James, Larry Nelson, Please Stand By, James Brady, Morgan Price, Jinyuan Yeong, George Logue, Chasing the Son Mobile Media, Johanna van de Woestijne, and all the others that help fund our work.
