Mounting and Cleaning Tiny Insects - for high magnification macro photography

A deeper dive into the special challenges of preparing very small subjects (ants, fruit flies, and smaller) for high magnification photography. In this video I cover the selection and application of an appropriate "handle", the use of ultrasonic cleaners, appendage relaxation, drying techniques, and the art of insect posing using a lens cleaning blower.
These techniques are not for the faint of heart! They require a steady hand, concentration, and a great deal of patience. But the results are well worth the effort!
