Hello again,
Today I drove about 80Km to a lake for a macro session.I found these beautiful ants and man they are really fast-no way to get a good shot until I gave them a drop of sugar water and I had a chance to take a few shots.I´m not sure about the species but I think are some of Camponotus Sp.I hope you enjoy them,
Best all,
Remy

Hello Remy,

Hello Remy,

wow, wow and wow - absolute fantastic shots.
The extension is really impressive,
I can see inside the body of an ant, the structure of its head...
You are a MPE-wizard :wink:

I enjoy every Photo which ya show us here..
Well, the second one is s real highlight for me, coz i can even see the Facets of those small creatures.
And ya got two of them on the same picture, which is just amazing for me.
The Details of the eyes and the head- oh my goodness, I can recognize every single hair on it..
Unfortunately I don't have any diffused flash and cannot imagine how to use it for macros witout any sign of burnt-in highlights.
Especially the first one is an outstanding Photo with a lot of liquid there, and even there I cannot see any flash in it.
Great photos..

Hi Remus two wonderful pictures again! Your "diffused flash" in connection with the MPe ist phantastic! Is it the same set that you prefer with your other lenses?
I`m going to throw away my Ringflash!!!

LG Jürgen

Hello Remus,

two execellent pictures. The 1st one with the fine details of the body
looks like a x-ray photographie.
The 2nd one is also a highlight for me with its perspective and great
extension.
Sharpness, colors and light are very good.

Regards from Detlef
