Pokka · 2nd May 2005

were you proning on the ground?
care to share the technique involved in shooting these shots?

Excellent pictures! Good control of Depth of Field. Lighting seems rather harsh though. Shot during high noon with flash?

Cheers,

Pokka, I was literally flat on the ground and I had to remove the Batt grip, tripod collar and lens hood to my gears even more lowered.

Benny, I shot them under the shade, but I made a slight adjustment on the brightness/contrast.

Cheers!

May I ask

did you place the camera on the ground and waited for the ants to pass by?

or did you sneak up and shoot them?
