More close-up shots of flying bees...

[Jean Déraps]

There were so many bees flying around my garden, I just had to makes some pretty pictures of some of them! It's so cool to see the wingbeats of a bee!

We used to only be able to dream about shooting slow motion @ 300 fps... thanks to Jim and his team for making it reality!

Fabulous! What lenses are you using? You DOF appears to be about 5mm or so!

That was a RED Pro Prime 100mm...and yes the DOF is probably less than 5 mm!!!! Tough focusing work indeed!

Your server is dying slowly man....I'm not even getting 5KB/sec. Anywhere else you can put this? Vimeo?

Staggering clarity. Really beautiful shots.

Really nice Jean. Would it be possible for you to do this with a butterfly. I've seen that once with a phantom which looked awesome. Maybe nice one to try also
