I've tried taking ant pictures with my digital camera. Even though it's got a great macro lens, it's impossible. The shutter lag is so long, the quick little suckers are long gone before the shutter trips. I've got lots of empty frames to show for my effort.
Part of my difficulty is probably that I take pictures along ant trails. The ants are on a mission then, and they go very fast. You need a fast shutter speed, and a responsive shutter. |

I was sort of disappointed that no one commented on my bumblebee pic. I guess it just wasn't small enough to qualify for the Close Up thread. Sigh.

I realize this isn't a Kitsune-caliber photo, but it looked so much like a cross between Tess the dog and Superbaton's cat that I had to post it.

...and what do you mean "Kitsune-caliber"? Am I doing something to come across as a photo-snob? |

ZippyT has a different relationship with letters than many, but he gets things done. He is a Marine.
