The Balancing Bluebottle (1910)
Not Rated 16 Feb 1910 • Short • 0h 2m
The challenge of the very slow lens required by F. Percy Smith for macro-photography, coupled with the insensitive film stock of the day, meant that so much light was required for exposure that the poor flies quickly succumbed to the heat. As Smith had glued their wings so that they could not fly away, they used their legs to achieve the memorable results seen here.
