Brian, the bugs must know you, and know that you'll put them on the internet and make them famous. ;)

Awesome shots!

[racketman]

did it carry the water back to the nest?

Awesome shots!

Thanks AB :)
Well I do have a waiting list ;) .
Found this of course when I was doing some dewdrop refraction shots- amazing what you find in the grass :)

did it carry the water back to the nest?

RM- No - this was entirely a bit of luck- suspect the ant had blundered into the dewdrop and was trying to get free of it :)

Great series Brian
Poor bugger all that effort just to get free.

[MikeMcL]

wouldn't it be cool if we could just carry water like that, lol

Great one-in-a-million find!

So where are the refraction shots?
LOL

[LordV]

Thanks for looking and commenting Dave, lawrie and Mike- I thought the shots were quite funny but doubt the ant did :)
Mike- just for you http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=303547

Nice series LordV. This could be a nice add for bottled water companies or in california for the draught we are having again.

[Sonic Infidel]

Geez, man! You've got this down to an art...I mean a science...

Wait...I guess that's just called "photography".

But you get the idea...nice job!

Far out ..!!1 Don't you work for National Geographic yet

[Mrselfdestruct]

Omg, thats awesome! Not only does the fact that a drop of water can sit on an ant... (makes you feel like a giant, doesnt it?) but the fact that you caught that with a camera. All your pictures are great, its photographers like you, dave, racket and a bunch of others (the names elude me at this moment) that really inspire me to get out there and practice so one day my shots could possibly be that good!

[Ballen Photo]

An absolutely BRILLIANT sequence Brian! :D RM- No - this was entirely a bit of luck- suspect the ant had blundered into the dewdrop and was trying to get free of it :)
I'm disapointed, I thought you had them trained better than that. :p

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone- much appreciated :)
Funny how often I seem to be setting up to do a shot of something else and you spot something like this going on.
