This video shows a tiny juvenile Central American harvestmen (Acromares vittatum) very rapidly devouring a chironomid midge (like a mosquito that doesn’t bite). I shot this video last weekend on my kitchen table using 3 tabletop LCD lamps. Unfortunately I didn't get the colour balance quite right so the video is a bit warm. I'd also like to use a lower ISO to get a higher resolution, but that would mean substantially brighter light, which I don't know it the critters would tolerate. I need to experiment a bit more. Cheers, EC www.macrocritters.wordpress.com YouTube: https://www.youtu...zCd_prDfUs The technical stuff: Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5 Lens: Zuiko 60mm micro four thirds macro Settings: aperture priority exposure (F11 @ 1/30 sec) Lighting: 3 Ikea LCD lamps ISO: automatic Edited by Ecooper on 03-07-2014 04:11 |
