Taking pictures of flowers from the bottom up … If lucky, one can catch a very nice view :c)
If you look closely (in the “large” view) you’ll notice that some of the black spots are actually ants. Summer 2007 – Rotterdam, NY / One of my girlfriend’s parents purchased a home that was owned by a Master Gardener and neither of them gardened. They asked me to come and tell them what their plants were, thin some out and feel free to photograph them. After a few hours, I had enough plants to fill half my garden and had filled up my photo cards, not to mention I couldn’t help but trim one of their trees while their backs were turned. I’ve only seen this Oriental Tigerlily at this garden and one other – both having been planted by Master Gardeners. I didn’t have the heart to dig any of them up. I had to lay on my back to shoot this as the blooms point downward.
We came across this little Echidna waddling / beside a road near Bunyip, Victoria, Australia. / Any hint of movement or noise and he would / quickly bury himself. I remained very still, / barely breathing and he finally mustered the / courage to continue on. What a darling he was! / . / Read about my wildlife photography here

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.
This tribute to Dali was one of the 30 finalist in the 2005 MacWorld Digital Art Contest and was in a traveling Art show across America that whole year. This image was created with over 15 original digital file shot with a variety of cameras. These files were blended together with over a hundred layers of art work in Adobe Photoshop CS before it’s completion.
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
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)
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.
Up and at ém, Atom Ant!
The original looked very ordinary but just trying Auto Levels in photoshop CS2 produced that intense blue and I cropped to get this composition. Otherwise, as is. Taken at King’s Park (nr Mount Eliza House), Perth, Western Australia on a wildflower photography course. / Sorry I don’t know the name of these flowers but they are real for those who doubt. 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.

This poor little ants luck had run out today! A tiny rain shower, which lasted no more than 2 minutes and this little one bit the dust. Wrong place, wrong time I guess, a rain drop much have landed right on him. I think this is a Common Coastal Brown Ant. I didn’t even nothice it was an ant in there till I took the shot, he was so small, looked like dirt. Canon 5D Mk II, 65mm. Best viewed Large!
Self Portrait, / nothing special here, I just like the shot. D90 18-200mm
