I wanted to take some photos of ants for ages already, but they are fast little creatures.
I caught some drinking today.
It was really great fun taking these photos.
Im not sure if this is four or five times magnification. One or the other anyway. Taken with canon Eos 400D and the Mp-e 65mm lens.
I used the standard camera flash and a white paper to reflect it.
I hope Ill get another chance, another day, to take more photos of ants. There is still loads that needs improving...

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactA wonderfully thought-up piece - you can see such great detail upon the ant.
I was instantly drawn into the image simply by the smoothness and softness of the lighting. Using the in-built flash on any camera is a bad idea, but deciding to bounce it was a stroke of Genius! (Must've been quite hard to set up.)
However, I must penalise you for use of ISO 400 when you are getting a shutter speed of 125th of a second approx!
The full-size image ends up slightly grainy as such, which is a real shame.
The fold in the water and specs of dirt make the ant seem so incredibly small. Something which, I suppose it was.
A fully-in-focus any would have been nice to see too, as the depth of field is a little small. The aperture could have been changed by one or two stops without causing too much worry with 400 ISO. It's either grain or detail, unless you change the set-up to incorporate more flash or soft lighting.
Wonderful shot. I look forward to seeing more like this from you.
