...Check out my 11th hour second video entry for the Noodler's Ink Contest 2013 and judge for yourself :)
Perhaps you have a flex pen that wishes to challenge? Videos / photos welcome!

Since making the "Ink Dragon Attacks" clip, I've wanted to have another go at some pen macro videography, which I had a chance to experiment with while making this second clip. Keeping the Ahab's nib (sort of) in focus while flexing and in motion was a real challenge!
All video was shot with my Nikon D5000, the kit 18-55 mm lens, and my latest acquisition, a set of Kenko extension tubes. The D5000 is definitely more challenging to shoot video with than the Canon 5D mark ii, as the D5000 has no manual video controls, so you have to work by adjusting light levels, hitting the AE-L button to lock the exposure, and then adjusting light again for the desired look. Of course it was never really intended for in-depth video work.
BTW, my first contest entry, which also included some ink macro videography, can be seen here:

Wishing all the members of the FPGeeks community a very happy 2014! :) :)
