A Flickr user has crafted an incredibly accurate and fast custom macro rig for a single purpose: grabbing stunning images of insects in flight.
We have to hand it to Flickr user fotoopa, the coolness of his custom-built rig surpassed only by its complexity. Weighing in at a whopping 7.2 kg, the setup is based around a Nikon D300, three flashes, an external shutter that responds faster than the default Nikon one (inside a custom housing), and a laser detection system. It took four months of solid planning and execution to come together.
