Ant with... something
Jun 13, 2013 10:54:56 #
Canon 7D, Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro, 430EXII Speedlite, DIY softbox diffuser, handheld, manual settings on camera and flash, flash at 1/4 + 0.3 power. Not perfect... but getting a little better. Experimenting with different flash settings. Another picture I took at 1/4 power was better (right on Douglass) but I was more out of focus on that one so posted this instead.
Original, no PP, 1:1 true macro

Fun to watch. He was carrying it forward, slow and determined, not dragging it backwards.

Great photo and it looks like a butterfly trying to emerge from it's cocoon (maybe??)
Interesting :)

Thanks Hangman. Another great capture there. I do think I've seen a couple of those flying around... tiny/skinny and those funny looking little wings way out to the side. Kind of looks like he has his gas mask on. :)Looks like the carcass of a Painted Wing Fly nice shots

Great capture for both you and the ant. The ant has a right to be a little swell headed with that meal.

Thanks again Hangman. I guess I just have that "I want to be like you when I grow up" syndrome. Applies to Tinusbum, fstop22, Blurryeyed, Richard76, Nikonian72, etc. etc. You guys really know how to set the bar high, and I like it.I think you did a good job of getting the eyes on a small target

Excellent detail! I would be proud to have captured this image.
Possible cicada exoskeleton?

What happened to my post-processed picture that I originally posted as image #2?
Did you tweak the original some more. If so, what did you do? It looks really good but I want to compare it to my posting.
