In recent months I have begun keeping ants, and since then I invested in a macro lens. After my camera being out of action for a while I am getting to grips with macro shooting :-)

Thanks for sharing. The focus is a bit in front of the subject, otherwise it would have been a nice shot. :-)
Best.

@Artesian: lovely colours and some great details on all three. I like the little hairs on the antenae on the second photo best.

Well shot! From working on ants (wild) I know all too well how fast they move and therefore how difficult to keep within the plane of focus.

Good work! Keep the ant photos coming. They are fascinating.

It’s subjective, I know, but I find the in-focus arc being around the actual subject works pretty well, and the ant was sufficiently in focus to allow a fair amount of detail, nonetheless.

That's a nice shot indeed, but I'm a bit distracted by the grey background.
