Nikon DSLR's are not known for producing great video. The D800 only can shoot 1080P video. With 4K video a person can zoom into the frame in the editor without loss of resolution. I think a better choice for a beginning filmmaker is the Lumix FZ80 20mm to 1200mm bridge camera which shoots up to 8 minute segments in 4K, has quiet continuous autofocus, and can shoot in auto (which automatically adjusts to changing light conditions) or manual modes. New it is $300. Used about $250 on ebay. Here's a sample of wide angle using manual adjustment of aperture, shutter speed and iso.

You can compare video samples taken with the 800e to samples of video taken with the LumixFZ80 in 4K on Youtube.

The physics of bee flight has perplexed scientists for years. In 1934, French entomologist Antoine Magnan calculated that bee flight was aerodynamically impossible. The haphazard flapping of their wings simply shouldn't keep the hefty bugs aloft.

Many of us are revisiting our portfolios, completing long overdue organizational work or using new tools on old images. Personally, I've been doing a bit of both. I've been trying to keyword and categorize older images that were mass-imported into Lightroom a few years ago. In this effort I discovered what appears to be an entire folder of bee images that had a few images cherry-picked for processing, and the rest left behind and forgotten. I've created a few groups of images to share over the next several weeks, hopefully you'll enjoy.

In 2005, scientists at Caltech and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas figured out honeybee flight using a combination of high-speed digital photography and a giant robotic mock-up of a bee wing.

The secret of honeybee flight, the researchers realized, is the unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, and a very fast wing-beat frequency.

Images in this post all were captured in RAW using an EOS 5DIII. The files were processed in Adobe Lightroom 6 with additional noise processing in Topaz DeNoise 6. Lenses include the early 1990s "Magic Drainpipe" and an extended EF 70-200mm f/4L. All the focal lengths are between 100mm and 200mm. Use the URL links that are the titles of each image for access to the EXIF details.

Being relatively large insects, bees would be expected to beat their wings rather slowly, and to sweep them across the same wide arc as other flying bugs (whose wings cover nearly half a circle). They do neither. Their wings beat over a short arc of about 90 degrees, but ridiculously fast, at around 230 beats per second.
