Hello,
I’ve tried to incorporate some of the lessons learned from my
previous day’s session. These mainly incorporated holding the branch still with a clamp, thus leaving one hand to free to hold a semi-transparent greenish book insert behind the ants, to get rid of the harsh black background and kick some reflected light into the deeper shadows.
I still ran out of hands thought, I could have usefully used at least 4, or even a photographic assistant!
Cheers
Dennis
