All together now


A content looking red ant family snapped on the sly! These are the common, half-centimeter long ants that we frequently find gnawing away at our sweetmeats.

Different idea for clicking.. nice! :)

do u always have ur camera around ur neck or what?
don't tell me u picked up the ants and forced them on to the sweetmeat!

so gorgeous. was inspired by your photos to dust of my own macro attachments and play around only to realise its backbreaking!!!!! howdya do it? i went NUTS, id breathe out and focus would go!

This is an amazing shot. I love the way the ants have turned out, half opaque, half transparent.

Everyone - Thanks so much for dropping in and commenting on this pic.

[Make it new] - Just one suggestion, once you get the snap onto your comp, just fiddle around with it's contrast & brightness, gamma correction, colour saturation, sharpening/softening till you end up with a more appealing result. Cropping out stuff to recompose the frame also makes a significant difference. In most cases the subject in the dead centre of the frame does not look too great. 1/3 ruling technique generally look good.

R they indian ?
