Macro Cinematography: Praying Mantis

July 11, 2011

If it wasn’t so bloody hot I think I’d keep doing this macro insect thing. By the time I’m done I’m SOAKED with sweat.

Would love to find a Mantis with red eyes…as this guy was so little (about an inch), I wonder if his would eventually turn.

Used my 50mm f1.2 in reverse, with and without extension tubes.

The clarity is great…but I think a really nice micro lens would take it up to the next level. (Nikon calls them micro, not macro, which is actually the correct verbage).
