miszt: Up close n Personal (macro shots) (19. Jan 2008 21:59)

This thread is for macro shots, or even Micro shots of ants, post your own, or your favorites that u've picked up during ur ant searches around the world and the web :D

This is for true macro shots however, not close ups, I want to see teeth! compound eyes and beardy ants :D

Dont forget to credit any images with links if possible, and label the species in the attachment comment :D

Jimmyve the detail on these pics are great! What camera do you use?! =D>

Thanks, i use a Sony Alpha Digital DSLR-A100. Very nice camera, only a bit expensive. You can take also great pictures with a cheaper one. ;)

Well i have just got my samsung s830 ( cheapr camera ) out and had a lil play around with the macro function...it's great!

To tell you the truth i have no idea about photgraphy but its something i would like to get into! \:D/ ! Been looking at a nikon camera for about £650, which looks decent!

Looking forward to sharing pictures of my ants with you all! They should be here tomorrow! Gonna have a quick peep at them and then they will go straight into the shed! Cant wait!! :D
