bruno22rf Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Doubt that the Ant was dining on the Aphid-it was most likely there to protect them-Ants "Farm" Aphids, in return for protection the Aphid produces a sweet juice that the Ant takes in payment.

Dougy Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Brilliant photo's. Its a load easier nowadays with digital, I did a bit some time ago using tubes and bellows and ring flash. Can you use a long focal lenses while still using macro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you use a long focal lenses while still using macro you can put rings between the lens and camera which allows you to use long focal lens's The main improvement with digital is that you can see your photo when you take it allowing you to alter things to get the best shot, still have to get out there and do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
