Only at x1 to start. Now who was it said this thing has a steep learning curve, crampons anyone.

Wood ant in my local forest with 5D, MPE65 and MT-14 ringflash.
1/200s F11.0. A touch of unsharp mask, and resized for forum.

done well to minimise reflections with the ringflash - ants are not my favorite subject for the MR14.

Thanks guys, I was pleased with it, but gotta whole lotta learnin' to do with this :-)
Bought honey yesterday for next outing, now I know where these are nesting. Guess I'll have to be careful with the honey, as this is a public seat :-) Will be braver next time and work up the mag.
