Great shot, love jumpers!

Definitely a nice set up you have! Looking forward to seeing more of what you can do.

The shot and video were taken with natural light in the shade of a house, but on a tripod. I was happy with the quality it relatively low light. The weevil picture that you had commented on earlier was taken with the same camera setup, but handheld in midday diffused sunlight.

I shot this with a Panasonic GX7 with the Olympus Zuiko 60mm Macro. I'm really happy with it. I was using a Nikon D5100 with the Nikon 40mm macro and I liked it, but the portability and video quality of the GX7 makes me (want to) take it everywhere.

Stunning video and picture! If you don't mind me asking, what set up are you using?
