Silver stud and ant videos

[GOLDENORFE]

i have just posted a blog on the relationship of the silver studded blues and the ants , shot at prees heath with 100mm macro and mpe on 5d2, this was the first time i have shot video, found it quite a challenge! , shot both stills and videos at high mag showing the ants cleaning the butterflies. you can also clearly see the leg spurs in the videos.

Absolutely stunning. The close-ups of the ants attending the butterflies are extraordinary. And I haven't even played the videos yet...

Thanks for sharing Phil - it really brings to life the SSB-ant relationship that I've seen in several photos, but have yet to see myself!

Cheers,

Your photos are stunning. I've only watched the first video so far but it is beautiful. Nice to hear the yellow hammer calling in the back ground too. Roll on summer!

Hi Phil,
Just had a look at the vids and photos. What can I say. Anyone else would be having to do pretty extraordinary things to pull off anything better than this. Inspiring stuff. As near perfection as is possible...thanks for sharing.
