Ants.....
Hi All
 , Comments & Crits welcome. Seeing Marcins efforts I thought I'd share some of mine. Still not perfect but hopefully getting there.  Marcin Here's what you can expect to get with DOF on that Canon you may soon be getting. Max aperture on lens I think is F22, but I've not used them here. Though did use flash. 100mm F2.8 Lens at F13 on 10D Cannon (They're pulling a small dead froglet).  100mm F2.8 Lens at F16 on Film EoS3 (Velvia 50).  100mm F2.8 Lens at F13 with x2 Convertor on 10D Cannon  MPE-65mm Lens at F16 (it's max DOF) at about 2x Magnification.

Re: Ants.....
This swirl about ants has me in a knot. I have wood ants down the hill from my house. Haven't pictured them yet, this is amazing stuff you put up. like #3 as I know what the ants like, sweets for the ants off those little buggers. Fantastic shots.

Re: Ants.....
Impressive stuff Chrisa!
I love the detail of the 'satin belts' on the ants in Nos 1 and 2 I can't quite decide if I want to know what the other creatures are in the third... |

 And if you ask, I'll have to unsubscribe from this thread  Actually I think they're aphids. But that's not a question

Re: Ants.....
Thanks all for the comments.
Yes they are aphids ( blackfly being a common name for them ). Hey Boofers, give it a go. It's not easy mind, be prepared for a lot of misses, but persist and you'll get something that will be pleasing. Just watch out for bites! |
