hate 'em - turn your back for five minutes and they want to take

As an observation - this one has a hairy arse. Given the ants'
legendary lack of individuality, I assume that they all do.

Greg - great macro shot. If the ant had been aware of your stealth photographic methodology he might have wipe his arse

great shot mate. Only suggest id make is to try and get a side on profile .. i find it more dramatic than from above. (one i did : http://davidsonimagery.com/gallery/imag ... e/DSC_6981 )
in terms of the capture though, awesome! carrying a fair load there ! http://davidsonimagery.com/
Right place, right time, where the hecks my camera ...
Thanks for the comments.
The lens is the Nikkor 105 micro - really a great lens. Hand held using manual focus, and the SB800 to keep the shutter speed up. Taken at Wattle Park very near our place, there was a largish bullant nest, and they were carrying stuff out and generally being very industrious. darb, not much chance to get a side shot, in fact it was hard enough getting this one! But I agree that a side shot would be worthwhile, maybe next time. Greg - - - - D200 etc
