Thanks Patrick. I gave up on taking “random” or single ant shots, as these guys are just too mobile. This set had more or less captive subjects. The ants built a nest in a rolled up leaf at the end of a slender branch, so I could set up and take photos much more easily as their movements were limited to the line of the branch.

Even so, it still remains quite tricky as they do motor along, above the branch, behind the branch, underneath the branch, etc. Maybe I’ll try at dawn/dusk to see if they slow down just a little.

Cheers

Dennis
