Info From Licensor: "The most challenging part when recording things at this scale is the focusing. The depth of field (or depth of focus) at the macro level is extremely narrow. Moving the camera very slightly toward or away from the subject (ants), even by as little as one millimeter, causes blurriness, which is what happened here. Add to that the constant motion of the ants which makes focusing even more difficult. But I managed to keep them in focus long enough to see their dark eyes and "hairy" abdomens at some point. The pencil is there to illustrate the relative size of things." - Benyoucef Hebboul
