My nephew poking ants – as you do… Played around with this in photoshop – changed hue/sat + a bit of dodging and burning… Shutter Speed – 1/60 sec / F-Stop – f/4.5 / ISO – 100 / focal length – 40 mm
Taken at King’s Park, Perth, Western Australia. / sorry I don’t know the name of these flowers but they were real and, I hope, still growing in the ground. I was shooting up from the ground into the sky. It was this cloudless though not quite as blue. nikon D700, macro 105mm macro lens, f/32, 1/250th, -.3 step. ISO probably 200. / Levels tweaked in photoshop produced that intense blue and I cropped to get this composition. Otherwise, as is. ! FEATURED IN PHOTOGRAPHY 101
Made after a conversation with my friend David about how he thinks that working is a form of theft. Thanks also to my muse kez for her curatorial suggestions here. / . / . / Based on a photograph released by the Huddersfield University precision technology centre of an ant carrying a 1mm square microchip. / . / . / See Worker Ant – Part 2 / . /
When i was taking this photo of the ladybug, i didnt know there was an ant already in this flower. I saw him through my camera, and he was so surprised to see a ladybug ,after that, he started to follow the ladybug.
If you look closely (in the “large” view) you’ll notice that some of the black spots are actually ants :)
Up and at ém, Atom Ant!
Taking pictures of flowers from the bottom up … If lucky, one can catch a very nice view :c)
These ants were amazing to watch, they make nests by binding leaves together. 2009 Calendar – January ”God saw all He had made, and it was very good.“ / Genesis 1:31a / Photo Information: / 21st December 2006 EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM / Focal Length: 60.0mm / Extension Tube: EF25 II Aperture: 8.0 / Shutter: 1/60 / ISO: 200 / Flash: 430EX (diffuser) / 26/09/08 .

Wood Ants ( Formica spp.) are also known as Field Ants. / They are 4-8mm ( 0.16 – 0.32 in) in length. Some species of field ants enslave other ants. Thus it is common to find what appears to be two different kinds of ants in a nest. Wood ants build large mounds in soil. They will not nest indoors. These ants prefer dead insects and sweet materials. The one shown was one of many more, who were feeding on something sweet on the Peony buds. Photo featured in “1:1 Macro Photography” ( June/08)

Macro of a thirsty- and adorable ant!
© copyright 2007 All Rights Reserved / You may not use, replicate, manipulate, redistribute, or modify this image without my express consent. This shot was taken in Washington State. We stopped to catch some shots of a waterfall on the roadside, as I walked towards the waterfall my attention was drawn to this wildflower. It stood so straight and tall and was blemish free. It is called a FOXGLOVE. It blooms in the SPRING of the year April – June. I got up close with my Canon EOS Rebel XT, and watched this ant come out of one petal and took this shot. It was taken with a 18-55 lens, 100 ISO, It was in the shade. This shot was taken as is. Digitalis is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and biennials that are commonly called foxgloves. The genus was traditionally placed in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae, but upon review of phylogenetic research, it has now been placed in the much enlarged family Plantaginaceae.[1] The genus is native to Europe, western and central Asia, and northwestern Africa. The scientific name means “finger-like” and refers to the ease with which a flower of Digitalis purpurea can be fitted over a human fingertip. The flowers are produced on a tall spike, are tubular, and vary in colour with species, from purple to pink, white, and yellow. The best-known species is the Common Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea. It is a biennial, often grown as an ornamental plant due to its showy flowers, that range in colour from purples through to whites, with variable marks and spotting. The first year of growth produces only the long, basal leaves. In the second year, the erect leafy stem 0.5-2.5 m tall develops. The larvae of the Foxglove Pug feed on the flowers of Digitalis purpurea. Other Lepidoptera species feed on the leaves including Lesser Yellow Underwing. / The term digitalis is also used for preparations containing cardiac glycosides, particularly digoxin, extracted from plants of this genus. UPDATE: this shot won the award of first runner up in ISP’s amateur photographer of the year competition, held in Las Vegas, Nevada in March 2008. This is an independent judging competition, judged on subject, focus, composition, perspective, clarity, and presentation. August 2007, it was published on the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WEBSITE.
ink on watercolor paper i keep having phantom pains from where my heart used to be… a sentiment which rang true more then than it does now. maybe they grow back. maybe the pain just goes away.
I found the ants hiding away in a strelizia flower. There was a small gap and some sticky substance which attracted them to that spot.
