Then surely you must have been standing waist deep in some muddy swamp, in your neatly pressed safari outfit, while calmy and eloquently explaining the intricacies of ant macro photography...  |
Hi Rolf
How about I was wearing crocs, shorts and a singlet, knee deep in the long grass in the council paddock just over our back fence!
I clumsily touched the branch with the diffuser and this brought the ants out of their nest and they swarmed over the diffuser. I let them crawl onto my hand which I then used as a bridge so they could get back onto the branch, as the ants were totally non-aggressive - thankfully.
There is something quite meditative in collecting then withdrawing one’s consciousness from the affairs and travails of the world at large, to just concentrate on the magical realm of these amazing insects. Time literally flies by and as long as the insects that do land on me don’t bite or burrow, I don’t mind their company.
Cheers
Dennis
